This leads to fewer lifetime emissions than gas-powered vehicles.

Electric power is renewable energy that has a longer lifecycle than fossil fuels. As more electric vehicles increase in popularity and use this renewable energy, emissions from all vehicles will drop, providing more of a boost to the environment and promoting cleaner driving.
