In a similar way, the full breadth of impacts attributable to conventional gasoline production, such as natural resource consumption and hazardous pollutant emissions, must also be considered in order to make balanced comparisons to biofuels. This study highlighted the environmental impacts of corn ethanol in comparison with gasoline.

In comparison, the state’s goal is to achieve this amount by 2050. This situation is not true universally. Xcel Energy in Minnesota, for example, has already started to upgrade distribution transformers because of potential residential EV electrical-load issues.

Dr. Patil has an undergraduate degree from IIT, Bombay (India) and a PhD in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. For frigid climates like the Minnesota and Canada pack warming can be integrated with the overnight charging for a PHEV. (GM plans to handle module and pack assembly itself, earlier post.)

The team found that using concentration rather than intake is suboptimal for health comparisons. The study used an intake-based, rather than concentration-based, risk assessment for primary PM 2.5. For example, they noted, comparing PM 2.5 are about equal between the two modes.
