EEA report: EVs are better for climate and air quality

Green Car Congress

Promoting renewable energy and circular economy—including the shared use of vehicles and product design that supports reuse and recycling—will help maximize the benefits of shifting to electric vehicles, according to the report. So far, only two EU Member States (Austria and Sweden) have reached the 10% target.
