An electric car produces no exhaust emissions while it is being driven. The car is charged using electricity generated in the country where the car is driven.
Explain why driving the electric car can still lead to carbon dioxide being released.
In a second country, 90% of the electricity is generated from renewable energy resources. Explain the effect this has on the carbon dioxide released for each kilometre driven by an electric car in that country.
Suggest one reason why a government might encourage drivers to change to electric cars, even before the electricity is generated from renewable resources.
