Improved environmental performance

The total life cycle analysis indicates that the environmental impacts linked to electric vehicles are much less significant than those of gasoline vehicles. This is particularly true in Quebec where vehicles that run on hydroelectricity emit up to 80% less greenhouse gases than their gasoline equivalent.

Defrost your car without polluting

For environmental reasons, many Québec municipalities limit idling to three minutes for thermal vehicles, but it isn’t an issue for electric vehicles. You can therefore remorselessly preheat your car before leaving!

In the case of plug-in hybrids, it is important to make sure that the vehicle is still plugged into the charging station when preheating to prevent the gasoline engine from starting.

Four ways to minimize environmental impacts

1

When possible, use public or active transportation, carpool, or opt for car sharing.

2

Keep your current vehicle for longer, especially if you don’t drive a lot and if your vehicle is energy efficient.

3

If you are making the switch to an electric vehicle, be sure to choose a model whose range – and by extension whose battery size – is truly in accordance with you needs.

Even better, choose a smaller model that still meets your needs, or even a second-hand electric vehicle!

4

If you change to a newer gas model, choose a smaller size that matches your actual needs and – most importantly – consumes the least amount of gasoline possible.
