Green Impact: Electric Cars Saving 1.8 Million Barrels of Oil Every Day

Author: Madison Cates January 15, 2024January 15, 2024

In the landscape of emerging electric vehicles (EVs), a quieter revolution is underway — one that isn’t often in the headlines but holds significant implications for our oil dependence. According to BloombergNEF (BNEF), the surge in electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers has proven an unexpected hero in the realm of curbing oil consumption.

Despite the global anticipation surrounding passenger electric cars, trucks, and SUVs, BNEF’s recent analysis unveils a surprising reality: electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers are contributing nearly twice the reduction in oil burning compared to their four-wheel counterparts. The figures, indeed, astound — approximately 1.8 million barrels of oil are sidestepped daily, majorly by these smaller electric vehicles.

Here’s what BloombergNEW reported, “Global oil demand for road transport is expected to reach roughly 42.3 million barrels a day in 2023, a slight increase over the past year.”

While electric cars often grab the limelight, this underlines a critical oversight in our coverage — a market less explored yet significantly influential in global oil consumption. The staggering impact extends beyond mere fuel savings; it’s a gateway to monumental environmental gains.

Reduced oil combustion means a parallel drop in CO2 emissions, a vital metric in the fight against climate change. BNEF’s estimates highlight the profound impact: a net reduction of 112 million metric tons of CO2 emissions annually. This figure, a result of EV adoption, accounts not only for reduced tailpipe emissions but is also comprehensive, considering the emissions generated from increased electricity production to power these vehicles.

As electric vehicles continue their ascent, these revelations underscore the multidimensional impact of their proliferation. Beyond their day-to-day performance and eco-friendliness, they’re proving to be potent players in reshaping the global energy landscape, offering promising solutions to oil dependency and environmental concerns.
