Yes, you read that right. In Australia, the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission (ACCC), equivalentProfessional advertising regulatory body home, had such an idea. Indeed, this commission is warning car manufacturers about the use of the term “zero emissions” in their various campaigns to promote their electric vehicles.
This organization believes that to say that an electric car is a car “zero emissions” is misleading. This term actually misleads potential buyers.
Ask about the total balance
To begin with, the deadlinezero emissions“, however, not really actual. When an electric car is driving, it certainly does not emit any emissions no CO2 emissions. However, she still rejects other kinds of shows. You can give an example brake dust released by the vehicle during each braking phase.
Moreover, this phenomenon exists intensifies on an electric car. IN most cases there is an electric car more difficult than thermal. This means that it is necessary demand more brake disc and pads during braking phase. A phenomenon which increase so amount of dust with brakes released.
To be more fair, then construction workers take into account the global report cars The latter covers everyone manufacturing stage vehicle, as well as pieces which make it up. Not bypassing electricity production which is used to power the batteries.
And immediately when we take it the whole problem we understand better than the term “zero emissions” is not very appropriate.
And France in all this?
As you can see, this display only happens – at the moment – in Australia. Let’s wait to see what France AND Europe resolve in file “Eco-ball”. We remind you “Eco-Score” will tend to note THE new cars according to them impact on the environment. As well as household appliances.
Of course, the question of “zero emissions” will come up again when this file is on the table.
A case for emulation.
