Many countries have met their climate goals and are on track to be completely carbon neutral. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Airplanes, for example, won’t be able to fly long distances on battery power.

As the world grapples with the pressing issue of climate change, it is evident that we need swift action to avert its worst impacts. Another study found that if people choose to charge their EVs during times when there’s less demand on the power grid, we could cut emissions by another 18% – and maybe even allow EVs to support the grid.
