Carbon Numbers

• Multiply gallon of gas used by 19.6 to get pounds of CO2 emitted (Reference)
• In California, multiply kWh of electricity by 0.61 to get pounds of CO2 emitted (Reference)

Scooter versus Cars

In the city, cars will average 15MPG (or less). So cars will emit 1.3 lbs of CO2 for every mile driven. Scooters take 0.100 kWh or less to go 1 mile. So a scooter in California will emit less than 0.061 lbs of CO2 for every mile driven.

So a car emits over 20 times as much CO2 as an electric scooter for the same mileage driven!
