Advantage EV

Electric Auto Association

Here’s what two organizations— Resource-Media and Recurrent —had to say about the advantages of electric vehicles (EVs) in frigid weather. Also, gas vehicles must be started and preheated outdoors due to health risks from the exhaust, and gas vehicle emissions contribute to air pollution. Electric vehicles are popular in cold climates.

states (Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin) and one Canadian province (Manitoba). Support for this use of allowance value stems from the idea that the climate-regulating services of the atmosphere are a common property resource. Coverage: In 2012–50% of emissions. In 2015–nearly 90% of emissions.
