Score summary

Tesla ranks 12th in the benchmark with an ACT rating of 11.3D=. As a manufacturer of exclusively electric vehicles, Tesla’s fleet emissions and low-carbon vehicle sales are very much in alignment with what is required under the low-carbon pathway, and both are projected to remain that way. The company’s engine efficiency is not a relevant factor, given that its vehicles do not use internal combustion engines. However, the company lacks transparency regarding its climate governance and decarbonisation strategy. It has not made any public commitments to reduce its manufacturing emissions or exclusively manufacture electric vehicles, and has limited emissions data gathering. Moreover, Tesla shows little intention to move its activities away from traditional passenger vehicle ownership towards more resource efficient mobility services.
