Plug-in electric vehicles are promising and sales have started, but it will take time to reach very large volumes, and will likely require strong incentives over the coming decade to reach a fully competitive point. carbon fuel vehicles will be needed to continue to decarbonize LDVs and reduce oil use out to 2050 and beyond.

Encouraging the use of low-carbon alternatives is an essential part of meeting climate change targets as well as improving local air quality and health. Global, economy-wide carbon pricing is assumed as climate policy in both scenarios after 2020 (100 US$ per tCO 2 held constant over time). —McCollum et al. McCollum et al.

There are many options available for reducing the fuel, energy, and GHG emissions impacts of LDVs. Achieving our overall goal—reducing fleet fuel and energy consumption and GHGs by three-quarters or more—will be extremely challenging. Includes vehicle weight reduction: at constant acceleration capability.
