# Does a Maeving produce carbon emissions if it is electric?

| > This depends on the fuel mix of the energy supplier you are using (ie. what percentage comes from fossil fuels and what percentage comes from renewable energy). > > Maeving encourages all customers to choose and support electricity suppliers that draw from 100% renewable energy. A list of energy suppliers and their respective fuel mixes can be found [here](https://electricityinfo.org/fuel-mix-of-uk-domestic-electricity-suppliers/). > > In addition, the amount of electricity required to fully charge the battery is relatively so small, that even if you aren’t able to make use of a renewable energy supplier, you’re still drastically reducing your carbon emissions. |
