California AB 1305 Emissions Disclosure
Highland’s emissions calculations are based on publicly available data, including average fuel consumption, vehicle emissions factors, and electricity generation emissions profiles. These estimates take into account both avoided tailpipe emissions from fossil fueled vehicles, and the indirect emissions associated with electricity generation used to charge electric vehicles.
While electrification can significantly reduce greenhouse gas and criteria pollutant emissions, the actual impact varies based on local electricity grid mix, vehicle duty cycles, and other factors. Highland is committed to using the most accurate and up-to-date data available to assess and communicate these benefits.
