Although electric vehicles (EVs) have the potential to have a positive impact on the environment and our communities, the transition to EVs should be inclusive and equitable. Some positive environmental and social impacts of EVs when compared to internal-combustion-engine (ICE) vehicles include: Sustainable Benefits: EVs are, in most cases, better for the environment because of the reduction in gas emissions. The transportation sector is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and the shift to EVs can help reduce the footprint. Air Quality Improvement: By reducing gas emissions, the use of EVs contributes to improved air quality, especially in urban areas with high traffic congestion. Improved air quality has a direct impact on decreasing respiratory illness and related health issues. |
