New Science Says Scrapping A Working Gas Car For An EV Is Usually Greener
- •New scientific findings refute the long-held belief that keeping an existing gas car is greener, demonstrating that replacing a working internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle with an EV is usually more environmentally beneficial due to lower lifecycle emissions.
- •This research provides strong justification for accelerating EV adoption, signaling a significant increase in long-term electricity demand for charging infrastructure and vehicle fleets.
- •The findings will likely bolster policy and regulatory efforts promoting fleet electrification and grid decarbonization, potentially leading to new incentives or mandates for large power consumers and developers.
