UK researchers report that alcohols in windshield washer fluid are major unreported source of VOCs emissions from cars, including EVs

There are widespread policy assumptions that the phase-out of gasoline and diesel internal combustion engines will over time lead to much reduced emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from road transport and related fuels. While some VOCs are released in exhaust, others may arise from an unexpected source—e.g.,

The authors assert that “zero emissions” BEVs will not replace IC engines in commercial transport to any significant degree because of the weight, size and cost of the batteries required. A transition from the gasoline or diesel ICE to a full gasoline/diesel hybrid can significantly reduce emissions. Gas exchange.

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.
