Why EVs Aren't a Climate Change Panacea

Cars That Think

Greenpeace , on the other hand, argues that sales of all diesel and petrol vehicles, including hybrids, must end by 2030 to meet such a target.

However: the MI Scenario for road and rail transport depends on the decarbonisation of the electricity supply system. A detailed analysis of policy pathways leading to such a decarbonised electricity supply in the UK is outside the scope of this study.
