China now accounts for more than 40% of plug-in vehicles (from two-wheelers to buses) sold in the world, according to a recent report from the IEA. In California, the transportation sector is responsible for nearly 40% of greenhouse gas emissions and is also by far the largest source of smog-causing pollution and fine particle pollution.

Honda might have issue with the term “smog-spewing,” as it noted to Green Car Reports that when it began its sponsorship of Autopia in 2016 it replaced existing engines at the attraction with more efficient Honda iGX270 engines. Since 2016, the attraction has been sponsored by Honda. EV production.

Battery electric cars emit less greenhouse gases and air pollutants over their entire life cycle than petrol and diesel cars, according to a European Environment Agency (EEA) report. Shifting to electric vehicles could also reduce noise pollution, especially in cities where speeds are generally low and traffic often stands still.
