This statistic presents the CO2 emissions during the construction and usage phases of internal combustion engine cars (gasoline and diesel) and electric cars in France in 2020. Electric cars emit CO2 mainly during the construction phase of the vehicle, unlike internal combustion engine cars which emit a lot of greenhouse gases during driving.
The emission levels shown here are only for France, where the energy mix is less carbon-intensive than in some other European countries such as Poland, which is much more dependent on coal. This means that the electricity used by electric cars in France emits little CO2, making the carbon footprint of electric cars lower than in other countries.
