- Please do Question 2arrow_forwardThe chart shows average CO2 emissions for fossil fuel vehicles (gasoline, diesel, and hybrid gas‑electric), as well as electric vehicles. The ordinate is mg CO2 per mile driven per pound mass of the vehicle (called curb weight). For electric vehicles, CO2 emission varies in U.S. states because of the mix of fuels used to generate electricity. If electricity came entirely from solar power, there would be little CO2 associated with its production. California has the lowest CO2 emission for producing electricity and Ohio has the highest because it depends heavily on coal‑fired power plants. The chart does not include CO2 emission from manufacturing vehicles. When normalized for distance driven by each kind of vehicle before it is scrapped, CO2 emission associated with manufacturing electric vehicles is estimated to be 25–75% greater than CO2 emission associated with manufacturing gasoline and diesel vehicles. If manufacturing were included, CO2 emission associated with electric vehicles…arrow_forwardNote: no need for explanation, just answer it all with letters. Thank youarrow_forward
