The study, lead by University of Edinburgh PhD candidate Patrick Miner, also seems to have been influenced and goes into great detail outlining the specific harms caused by driving.& Meanwhile, EVs will likely increase specific forms of air pollution (e.g. These are conservative estimates, he and his co-authors write.

Most of the pollutants from a modern automobile are emitted during the first 30 seconds of starting a car, when the catalyst is still being warmed. At low temperatures, carbon monoxide builds up on the catalyst, decreasing its efficiency. of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of new Mexico. —Prof.

“Public policy implementation is hard even if everyone supports a policy,” says University of Michigan professor emeritus John Leslie King , who has studied policy management and administration for decades. Issues like auto safety and pollution were the chief concerns. These issues are self-contained to the auto itself.”

Although with many of these companies recast as diversified, greener “energy companies,” the extra pollution might not be the image they’re looking for. In what might be yet another example of an urban-rural divide, a recent University of Michigan survey suggested that EV charging is seen as less relevant to rural communities than to cities.

Utilities could avoid building more dirty peaking power plants. Agassi’s Davos Insights Success with V2G would be a double win for electric utilities. Millions of EVs and PHEVs would expand the sale of electricity as an alternative to oil. Instead they could buy back electricity at peak hours from vehicle drivers. SZ (1) 6753.T
