Auto Major's Claims regarding EVs

In a statement from major auto corporation Mitsubishi, who is testing its EV the 'i MiEV' claims regarding indirect emissions of an EV have been made. It is stated that even when the emissions created by electricity production are taken into account, electric vehicles emit only about 30 percent as much CO2 as gasoline-powered vehicles of comparable size.

It was also pointed out by the company that the average 80-mile range is plentiful for most urban users, who spend lots of time in their cars but don't actually drive that many miles in a given day.

More evidence of the popularity of the EV and the desire for big companies to cash in on public sentiment by developing, testing and producing EVs.
