It's more complex than that. It depends on the source of electricity...
If the electricity generated was from a very pollutive source (such as coal), then Tesla might not necessarily be the cleanest to operate. At least 47% of China's electrical production is from coal.
But generally, on average, in the West, Tesla should be significantly cleaner than any normal internal combustion engine vehicle of its size/class.

Great analysis. As much as I like mechanical engines, I am glad there is awareness/social responsibilty with acceptibilty towards these (quartz) vehicles. It is high time where they shud...
....scale production of these vehicles thruout the world. Infact, the costs of producing these shud be less than that of a combustion engine once that scale is achieved. Combustion engines shud become luxury vehicles like luxury mech watches. No place bet...
Electric vehicles vs gasoline vehicles in China
Thank you for reading and commenting! The vast majority of personal cars in China are gasoline cars. But the funny thing is that using electric cars in China may not necessarily improve the air vs gasoline cars. 1. Gasoline cars in China are not as "clean...
You should see hydrogen production...
It takes a lot of electrical energy to split the hydrogen atom from the oxygen atom in water to get just hydrogen. Hydrogen is mostly made through solar powered sources, but there's still opportunity cost. That power could be used elsewhere! Like my air c...
Not true.
After 8 years op operation a (at least a Tesla) is cleaner than an ICE car. According to studies.
