We Need More Than Just Electric Vehicles

Cars That Think

With all this, consumers and policymakers alike are hopeful that society will soon greatly reduce its carbon emissions by replacing today’s cars with electric vehicles. about 60 percent of its electricity from fossil fuels, primarily natural gas, which produces less carbon than coal does. falls somewhere in the middle, deriving.
