Although the Tesla S is an electric car, and directly and locally no pollutants are emitted, during its ‘refuelling’ at the dt. power station, e.g. at the superchargers, air pollutants (at the fossil power plants) are very well emitted. Amazingly, above all, that SO2 that should actually be a thing of the past due to the introduction of sulphur-free fuels is again emitted to a considerable extent! Tesla Model S: NOx: 89 mg/km SO2: 61 mg/km For comparison limit values EURO5 Ott omotor: NOx: 60 mg/km SO2: not detectable For other pollutants such as particulate matter, heavy metals look similar! Basis of calculation: dt. Strommix 2012, manufacturer consumption Tesla (181 Wh/km)
