Why EVs Aren't a Climate Change Panacea

Cars That Think

“Electric cars will not save the climate. For instance, Alexandre Milovanoff at the University of Toronto and his colleagues’ research (which is described in depth in a recent Spectrum article ) demonstrates the U.S. It is completely wrong,” Fatih Birol , Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), has stated.
