Driving EVs won't eliminate CO2 emissions if we're still emitting CO2 from generating the electricity we use to fuel the cars instead of emitting CO2 directly from the car itself. Not only that but we will also need to make charging stations as common as gasoline filling stations.

We're finally taking the first steps forward by bringing EVs to the car market, but to keep moving toward a successful transition away from from CO2, we'll need to keep making many more steps forward too.
