Electricity Mix CO2 Calculator
Your EV is only as clean as your grid. See how your country's electricity mix changes EV emissions — and whether an EV beats petrol where you live.

Cleaner charging, cleaner driving
- Pick a 100% renewable tariff. Instantly drops your EV emissions to near zero.
- Charge in sunny hours. Solar surplus is the cleanest grid power of the day.
- Install solar at home. Self-generated energy is ~0 g/kWh.
- Remember: grids get cleaner. Your EV's footprint drops every year automatically.
How it's calculated
- EV emissions = consumption (kWh/100km) × grid intensity ÷ 100.
- Grid intensity from typical national averages (g CO2/kWh).
- Petrol baseline = g CO2/km at the tailpipe.
- Excludes manufacturing and upstream fuel emissions — see the Carbon Footprint calculator for the full lifecycle.
