No, electric cars don't emit carbon dioxide but some electricity comes from fossil fuels which releases carbon dioxide. Although electrics are don't emit pollution, there are still some drawbacks. Electric cars are inefficient, they can only power up to a certain speed and the fuel needs to be filled up often.

Do cars emit carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide?

The principle carbon emission from cars is carbon dioxide. There is some carbon monoxide in the direct engine exhaust if the engine does not have the right air/fuel mixture. This is usually removed by proper operation (since 1975) of the catalytic converter.

Do air conditioners emit carbon dioxide?

Air conditioners do not emit carbon dioxide because they are sealed systems. Their electric motors are also emission free unlike gas or electric engines. However, most electricity is still generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), so any use of air conditioners has a carbon footprint (that is, carbon dioxide emissions).


Do seeds emit carbon dioxide?

Where is CO2 usually found?

All animals emit CO2 (carbon dioxide) as waste. When you breathe out, you are expelling carbon dioxide. Anytime anything is burned, the results are H2O (water) and carbon dioxide. Engines in cars burn gasoline for energy and carbon dioxide is released. This is the same as what factory smokestacks do to produce carbon dioxide, which is thrown into the atmosphere.
