New analysis assesses the price of running a car on advanced biofuels versus an electric vehicle.

The European car industry wants lawmakers to weaken EU car CO2 targets — which are a major driver of more affordable EV models — by counting combustion cars running on advanced biofuels as zero emissions. This is despite there not being enough advanced biofuels to go around.

Advanced biofuels are also far more expensive than charging an EV. New research by T&E assesses the cost of running a car on advanced biofuels versus charging an electric vehicle. It builds on earlier research that found biofuels are a ‘dead end’ technology for cars due to their CO2 emissions, limited availability, fraud risks and other factors.
