A new study from UC Berkeley confirms what EV fans already know: EV adoption does, in fact, make the air cleaner. Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley , found that between 2018 and 2022, CO2 emission from all sources (industries, homes, traffic) across the San Francisco Bay Area dropped around 1.8%

A scatter plot of CO, as a tracer for pollution, versus CO 2 , as a tracer for the amount of combustion, for 2002 and 2010. VOCs, primarily emitted from the tailpipes of vehicles, are a key ingredient in the formation of ground-level ozone which, at high levels, can harm people’s lungs and damage crops and other plants.

Volkswagen sold about 590,000 vehicles equipped with devices that defeated their pollution control features, leading to increased emissions of oxide.

The Advanced Collaborative Emissions Study (ACES), released today by the Health Effects Institute (HEI), also confirmed that the concentrations of particulate matter and toxic air pollutants emitted from NTDE are more than 90% lower than emissions from traditional older diesel engines (TDE).

the criteria pollutants and CO 2 that emerge with the exhaust from the tailpipe. As reported earlier here ( earlier post ) a recent literature review by a team from the University of Edinburgh (Timmers et al. EVs have no exhaust emissions and reduced non-exhaust pollutants as well as low electricity generation associated emissions.

There is an exception to that in the category of what they call super pollutants, the very powerful but shorter-lived gases and chemicals that come from things like fertilizer production, methane. So those are really important, and those are a little bit different. And that was based on observations of volcanoes. They also mix with clouds.
