Electric vehicles in the United States produce fewer greenhouse gases than gas automobiles, even when factoring in battery-making emissions, limited range during bad weather and coal-fired power grids, according to a new analysis.

On average, gas-powered vehicles will produce 70% more greenhouse gases than EVs with 300-mile charging ranges.
