Replacing a gasoline-powered ride-hailing vehicle with an electric vehicle can deliver three times the carbon benefits of a personally owned electric vehicle, according to a study by a University of California, Davis, researcher of Uber and Lyft data. The paper is published in the journal Nature Energy.

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) announced that greenhouse gas emissions in California in 2016 fell below 1990 levels for the first time since emissions peaked in 2004—a reduction roughly equivalent to taking 12 million cars off the road or saving 6 billion gallons of gasoline a year.

We are certainly in revolutionary times, but it is clear that power generation sources will not become fully renewable and transport will not become fully electric for several decades, if ever. A transition from the gasoline or diesel ICE to a full gasoline/diesel hybrid can significantly reduce emissions. —Reitz et al.

Prospects and Challenges in 2024 Combining the environmental benefits of electric vehicles (EVs) with the long-range and rapid refueling of traditional gasoline vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are becoming a compelling option for eco-minded car owners. Without question, FCEVs have the potential for broader adoption.
