The researchers found that while EVs do offer a very promising solution to energy issues due to their replacement of petroleum fuels, for now “ the high pollution levels of coal-fired power plants will trade off EVs’ potential energy benefits in China ”. Gasoline vehicle exhausts contribute very little to total national SO 2 emission (0.2%

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. Since it can refuel from a standard household outlet and from a gasoline station, it needs no new infrastructure. by Professor Andrew Alfonso Frank. CTO Efficient Drivetrains Inc. Click to enlarge.
