When it is driven 100 miles, the ICE vehicle contributes 72.8 pounds (lb) of CO2 from the burning of the gasoline. The drilling, refining, and transportation costs of getting the gasoline to the gas station add an additional 17.7 lb of CO2 per 100 miles. The BEV does not emit any CO2 itself, but the extraction, transportation, and combustion of the coal that produced the electricity at the power plant add 63.6 lb of CO2 for the same 100 miles. Calculate the difference in the amount of CO2 that would enter the atmosphere if both cars were driven 100 miles.
