However, the fuel-cycle PM 10 , PM 2.5 , SO 2 , and NO x emissions of EVs could be up to five times higher than those of ICEVs (internal combustion engine vehicles) and CNGVs. The preferred fuel path(s) will depend to a great extent on their climate and environmental performance, which is of national concern. Earlier post.]

Under Assembly Bill 32 passed in 2006, California must reduce its emissions to 1990 levels (431 million metric tons) by 2020. The state’s latest Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory shows that California emitted 429 million metric tons of climate pollutants in 2016—a drop of 12 million metric tons, or three percent, from 2015.
