zero-emission vehicle
No exhaust car
A zero-emission vehicle produces no exhaust pollutants during operation—typically electric cars, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, or other battery-powered transport.
The term refers to tailpipe emissions only; manufacturing and electricity generation may still produce pollution elsewhere: California offers rebates for zero-emission vehicles.
Often abbreviated ZEV.
