Dhaka, Feb. 27 -- Electric vehicles (EVs) are considered climate-friendly alternatives to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. EVs can limit ecological damage, reduce smog (mix of smoke and fog i.e., air pollution) and protect public health. Driving an EV (i.e., battery operated car i.e., BEV) off the current grid is still much less polluting than driving an ICE vehicle. According to the modeling by the NRMA and PwC Australia, an average new ICE vehicle emits around 185 gCO2/km compared to an average new battery electric vehicle (BEV) which emits around 98 gCO2/km, if charged via the grid. ICE vehicles emit a range of particulates, contaminants, gases and a lot of heat as a result of the combustion process, whereas BEVs emit a littl...
