...being consumed," according to Anthony Eggert of California's ARB. Of course, it takes oil, coal, nuclear, wind or hydro power to create the energy electric cars are powered on, so even eco saints don't get off free. To complicate matters further, if you want a hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered vehicle, like a Honda FCX Clarity, you will need to measure mileage in m.p.k., or miles per kilograms of hydrogen. The Clarity gets roughly 60 m.p.k...
...Eggert is in charge of science and technology policy for the state agency, which sets greenhouse-gas performance standards (GHGP) and develops "miles per gasoline gallon equivalents" (MPGGE) for electric and hydrogen-fuel-cell vehicles so it can rate the amount of harmful CO2 released into the air. It's all very confusing and is likely to get even worse, according to Eggert, who doesn't "even bother" with GM's 230-m.p.g. claim. "We ignore such claims entirely," he says. "We look at total energy consumed so we can figure out how much greenhouse gas is being emitted into...
