Here’s How Tesla Contributed To CO2 Emissions Savings In 2021

In total, Tesla’s lineup of products and services — this includes cars, energy storage solutions, and solar panels — reduced carbon dioxide emissions. The company says that these three factors resulted in the avoidance of 8.4 million metric tons of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. Electric cars were the largest source of savings, with Tesla vehicles emitting 6.8 million metric tons less than the average combustion engine vehicles. In addition, Tesla solar panels and energy storage solutions saved 1.6 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere, since these energy sources are completely clean.

Tesla’s environmental impact can be tricky to calculate, especially on a year-to-year basis, due to the fact that the company’s numbers are gathered using the current global electrical grid mix. It might be a surprise to some, but using electricity does have a tangible impact on the environment. Though an electric vehicle doesn’t directly release carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, it uses electricity that is generated by processes that release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. As a result, Tesla’s environmental impact is in part determined by the methods in which electricity is harvested. For now, Tesla’s vehicles have released significantly less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than the average combustion engine vehicle.
