Do electric vehicles produce pollution?
Travel: Preventive and efficient driving
Electric cars do not have an exhaust pipe and run on electrical energy stored in a battery, so while driving they do not produce polluting or greenhouse gases.
Explanation
Electric vehicles and pollution
**Electric cars** do not generate **pollutant gases** or **greenhouse gases** *while driving*, because:
- They run on **electric energy** stored in a battery, like a **mobile phone** that is plugged into a charger 🔌.
- They do not have an **exhaust pipe**, so they **do not emit smoke or gases** into the air 💨.
That is why they receive the **CERO 🔵 environmental label**, which indicates that **they do not produce direct emissions** while driving.
To remember it: **CERO 🔵 = ZERO direct emissions.**
