The reduction per electric vehicle rises from 64% to more than 80% as the electricity mix becomes cleaner toward 2030. The mobility transition is therefore directly connected to the energy transition: electric vehicles become more climate-effective when the electricity used for charging decarbonises further.
This insight shows that mobility and energy cannot be steered separately. Charging infrastructure, smart charging, grid capacity and renewable generation together determine how much emissions reduction electric transport actually delivers. Electrification therefore requires both vehicle policy and energy-system policy.
