Can someone explain this to me

In a typical gas car…You fill the car with gas and then it emits carbon dioxide etc as an emission/exhaust. 
 

In the case of electric cars, the electricity/ current is probably generated in thermal power plant and it is supplied to residence etc. 

In the first case, source of emission is engine. In the latter case, the source of emission is a power plant. 
 

Emission is a constant variable here. Only thing is source of emission is changing. That’s it 
 

It’s misleading to assume that electric cars are all environmental friendly. Actually they are equally worse. Unless the current is generated from solar/ hydro or a wind mill. The electricity supply from these clean renewable sources is very limited as of now

Fossil fuels are the largest sources of energy for electricity generation

Natural gas was the largest source—about 40%—of U.S. electricity generation in 2022. Natural gas is used in steam turbines and gas turbines to generate electricity.

Coal was the third-largest energy source for U.S. electricity generation in 2022—about 18%. Nearly all coal-fired power plants use steam turbines. A few coal-fired power plants convert coal to a gas for use in a gas turbine to generate electricity.

Petroleum was the source of less than 1% of U.S. electricity generation in 2022. Residual fuel oil and petroleum coke are used in steam turbines. Distillate—or diesel—fuel oil is used in diesel-engine generators. Residual fuel oil and distillates can also be burned in steam and gas turbines.

how do u know that power u getting is only from coal?

in next phases how many using coal?

Nuclear energy provides nearly one-fifth of U.S. electricity

Nuclear energy was the source of about 18% of U.S. electricity generation in 2022. Nuclear power plants use steam turbines to produce electricity from nuclear fission.

Renewable energy sources provide an increasing share of U.S. electricity

Many renewable energy sources are used to generate electricity and were the source of about 22% of total U.S. electricity generation in 2022. In 1990, renewable resources provided about 12% of utility-scale electricity generation.

Wind energy was the source of about 10.2% of total U.S. utility-scale electricity generation and accounted for 47.6% of electricity generation from renewable sources in 2022. Wind turbines convert wind energy into electricity.

Hydropower plants produced about 6.2% of total U.S. utility-scale electricity generation and accounted for 28.7% of electricity generation from renewable sources in 2022.¹ Hydropower plants use flowing water to spin a turbine connected to a generator.

Solar energy provided about 3.4% of total U.S. utility-scale electricity and accounted for 15.9% of utility-scale electricity generation from renewable sources in 2022. Photovoltaic (PV) and solar-thermal power are the two main types of solar electricity generation technologies. PV conversion produces electricity directly from sunlight in a photovoltaic cell. Most solar-thermal power systems use steam turbines to generate electricity. EIA estimates that about 0.06 trillion kWh of electricity were generated with small-scale solar photovoltaic systems.

Biomass was the source of about 1.3% of total U.S. utility-scale electricity generation and accounted for 5.9% of electricity generation from renewable sources in 2022. Biomass is burned directly in steam-electric power plants, or it can be converted to a gas that can be burned in steam generators, gas turbines, or internal combustion engine generators.

Geothermal power plants produced about 0.4% of total U.S. utility-scale electricity generation and accounted for 1.9% of electricity generation from renewable sources in 2022. Geothermal power plants use steam turbines to generate electricity.

Over 70% of production lo raw material is still a fossil fuel. Thanks for the source @VictoryTDP

natural gas is not same when it comes to carbon emission

10ngee valluuu lekaaa. I’m addition aaa love da lo battery has so many metal impurities such as nickel and lithium. There is no proper regulation for the disposal of those batteries yet.

nuvvu cheppindi corresht a anna but do we have a study if we replace all the gas powered cars with electric does that decrease pollution or cause the pollution to spike due to increased consumption of electricity
