As the world grapples with the pressing issue of climate change, it is evident that we need swift action to avert its worst impacts. The upstream, “well to wheel” emissions of the EV are linked to electricity generation and the electrical grid, with lower emissions in regions that use more renewable energy sources.

In the study, the researchers examined how radiation predictions made with DeepMC can be used to predict energy generation on a commercial solar farm, but Kumar says he can also imagine the model being used more generally by energy grids to predict how much energy people will use. Of course, weather affects everyone.
