The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires EPA to set National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for wide-spread pollutants from numerous and diverse sources considered harmful to public health and the environment. For a tougher standard of 0.060 ppm, the costs would range from $52 billion to $90 billion.

Both emit 31% less greenhouse gas emissions than their base conventional models due to their use of hybrid drivetrains, each of which costs approximately $4,000. But both models come with forced features that cost nearly as much as their hybrid drivetrains. Hybrids don’t have to be luxury vehicles. The Prius scored a 9.8

It is one of the most cost-effective ways to cut our greenhouse emissions, because it reduces the $9b a year New Zealand spends importing oil products from overseas,” said Mr. Gilbert. By a margin of five to one, Kiwis say they are concerned about climate change and want the government to help people convert to less polluting vehicles.

A new systematic review by The Lancet found that “people living in e-waste exposed regions had significantly elevated levels of heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants,” and it advocated for “novel cost-effective methods for safe recycling operations … to ensure the health and safety of vulnerable populations.”

Simply put, the study found what advocates of electric transportation have long held to be true: as regards greenhouse gases and pollution generally speaking, the worst electricity is still better than petroleum. And the grid is getting cleaner and more renewable every year. I truly hope we have turned a corner.

That figure does not include damages from climate change, harm to ecosystems, effects of some air pollutants such as mercury, and risks to national security, which the report examines but does not monetize.

The costs and benefits of cars extend far beyond an individual driver to society as a whole. Dont PHEVs just shift pollution from gasoline cars to power plants? But its monumentally less pollution , even on the national (half-coal) grid. Batteries to top How long will batteries last and what will replacements cost?

The objections they raised for years -- "no one is interested, no one would plug in, the technology is too complex, the benefits are minimal, its just shifting the pollution from the tailpipe to the smokestack, theres no demand for these cars" -- still show up occasionally, but are by and large history. The biggest barrier is the battery."
