Are electric cars really eco-friendly?

Electric-car drivers are saving the planet, right? Their vehicles produce none of the pollutants that dinosaur-

burning, fossil-fuel-powered machines do. That is the standard view, and governments around the world

provide incentives to encourage the uptake of this new technology.

That is why a Tesla owner got a rude shock when he went to import his vehicle into Singapore - the first

person to do so. The Tesla Model S is a 100% electric vehicle. It does not have an exhaust to emit from. So

what happened?

Instead of an expected rebate of around S$15,000 (US$10,800) he received a fine of the same amount for

being a gross polluter. The company commented the incident, "The Model S that our customer imported into

Singapore left our factory only two years ago with energy consumption rated at 181 Wh/km. This qualifies as

the cleanest possible category of car in Singapore and entitles the owner to an incentive rather than a fine."

The Singapore authorities calculated the ‘carbon cost’ of generating the electricity that will be used to charge

the car. This is the elephant in the trunk of electric vehicles. Where and how the power is produced is not

often considered, but perhaps it should be. Let’s move the elephant up to the passenger seat and address it

directly.
