They don't eliminate emissions — they relocate them to power plants. And with 80%+ of electricity still fossil-generated, that's not good enough. The world needs a solution for the 1.4 billion vehicles already on the road.
EVs don't eliminate emissions — they move them upstream. Over 80% of global electricity is generated from fossil fuels. Some EVs require the equivalent of 286 lbs of coal to travel 1,000 miles, producing 818 lbs of CO₂ per the EIA.
80%+of global electricity from fossil fuelsMining lithium for EV batteries produces over twice the CO₂ of manufacturing a conventional vehicle. An electric car generates 30,000 lbs of CO₂ during production versus 14,000 lbs for a gasoline car. You start in the hole before mile one.
2×more CO₂ to manufacture an EV vs. gasoline carTesla models range from $45,190 to $200,000. Even the most affordable EVs price out the majority of the global population. Climate solutions that only work for the wealthy are not solutions — they are luxury accessories.
$45K–$200KTesla price range · unaffordable for mostEVs accounted for just 4.1% of new vehicle sales in 2020. Even optimistic projections show EVs will not dominate the market before 2040. We cannot wait 15–20 years when the climate deadline is now. The 1.4 billion existing vehicles need a solution today.
4.1%EV market share globally in 2020PFVCC vehicles target the price of conventional gasoline cars — making clean transportation accessible to every driver, not just the affluent early adopter.
Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology — often proposed as a climate fix — consumes enormous amounts of energy, ironically producing more CO₂ in the process than it captures. Capturing emissions at the source — onboard the vehicle — is far more efficient.
Net negative: uses more energy than it saves in most deployments
Powers capture using waste heat from the vehicle's own engine
The global vehicle fleet emits approximately 6.68 gigatons of CO₂ annually — a primary driver of climate change and the single largest addressable emission source.
Industrial sectors — food carbonation, beverage production, enhanced oil recovery, chemical synthesis, greenhouses — face a 230 million ton per year CO₂ shortage. What pollutes our air is desperately needed in our economy.
A direct, honest comparison across the factors that actually matter to drivers, industry, and the planet.
Affordable. Independent of the grid. Compatible with existing infrastructure. And uniquely capable of turning the world's biggest polluter into a carbon capture network.
