Major car manufacturers around the world use various power sources such as PHEV plug-in hybrid systems and pure electric EVs to achieve the goal of “zero carbon emissions”. Generally speaking, electric vehicles should be the most environmentally friendly vehicles, but the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE) Recently, the latest survey results were announced. The most environmentally friendly car is not an electric car but the Toyota Prius Prime SE plug-in power car.
Toyota Prius Prime SE plug-in car becomes the most environmentally friendly car.
The environmental protection rating conducted by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE) is highly authoritative. It is not simply based on the vehicle’s carbon emission data, but also includes factors such as the production process, energy consumption, subsequent recycling and electricity sources. After all, different power production methods will directly affect the degree of environmental pollution.
In this list of the most environmentally friendly cars, Toyota Prius Prime SE won the championship with its PHEV plug-in hybrid, with an environmental score of 71 points, defeating many electric car rivals. The key lies in the proper control of the vehicle weight to form an efficient vehicle. When driving, the Prius Prime SE is expected to cost only US$529 (approximately NT$16,000) in fuel within one year. Coupled with the pure electric mileage brought by the battery pack, it is quite friendly to the environment.
At the same time, it can also be found from the list that the electric vehicles on the list also tend to be small and medium-sized, that is, the vehicle weight is relatively light, which can not only reduce energy consumption, but also reduce pollution caused by tire wear. The most ironic thing is that Toyota has been criticized by environmental groups many times due to the slow development of electric vehicles, but 6 of the 12 most environmentally friendly cars this time are from the Toyota Group.
Vehicle weight has become the key to whether electric vehicles are environmentally friendly or not.
In addition, you can also find that there are many models on the list equipped with natural gas Hybrid power. They use liquid natural gas as fuel and a fuel engine. In addition to having good cruising range and performance, the dual-energy supplement mode also helps to alleviate range anxiety. Only the fuel cost is relatively high.
There are 3 natural gas Hybrid powered vehicles on the list.
