Summary of "These Are The 12 ‘Greenest’ Cars In The U.S. For 2023"
It’s not surprising that the top five vehicles on the “Greenest List” for 2023 are fully electric. What is surprising is that the remaining models run on gasoline in a hybrid model. Some electric vehicles are simply not as good as hybrid alternatives. “Inefficient and heavy EVs have lower environmental impacts than similarly sized gasoline-fueled cars, but they underperform more efficient EVs,” said Peter Huether, who is a senior transportation research analyst with ACEEE. The ACEEE looked at over 1,200 models with varying power sources. Each model is given a Green Score on a 100 point scale with higher numbers being better. They are also given an Environmental Damage Index which shows monetary cost to human health with lower numbers being better. The ratings take into account lifetime emissions, including manufacturing and disposal. The “Greenest” car for the 2023 model year was the Mini Cooper SE with a Green Score of 67 and an EDX of $0.66 per mile.
