The claim
Elektrische auto's rijden op elektriciteit die is opgewekt uit fossiele brandstoffen in elektriciteitscentrales.
Rating
Nee. Afhankelijk van hoe je je auto oplaadt, kan dit op grijze en groene stroom. Uit onderzoek van de TNO blijkt dat ook e-auto's die enkel op grijze stroom rijden minder CO2-uitstoot veroorzaken dan verbrandingswagens.
