What is Electrification of Transportation?

Driivz

For the transportation sector, electrification means replacing fossil fuels with electricity as the means of powering light-duty vehicles, medium- and heavy-duty trucks, and buses. The primary goal is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and, ultimately, contribute to mitigating the effects of climate change on the planet.

EV Fleets Would Prevent Fuel Contamination

Clean Fleet Report

EVs are not without their shortcomings, but it is irrefutable that numerous maintenance issues would dissolve by replacing internal combustion engines with contamination-proof EV fleets. Preventing this from happening in EV variants requires strict regulations and substantial hydrogen purification methods. [1]

What is Decarbonization?

Driivz

Decarbonization efforts focus on replacing fossil fuels with low-carbon or no-carbon energy sources for the transportation, electricity generation, industry, agriculture, commercial (buildings and cooling/heating), and residential sectors.

What is Fleet Electrification?

Driivz

If zero-carbon, renewable resources are used to generate electricity, electrification can significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the transportation, building and industrial sectors, which make up 65% of all US greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. GHG emissions from transportation account for about 29% of total US GHG emissions.

The Aftershocks of the EV Transition Could Be Ugly

Cars That Think

The perturbations caused by transitioning EVs to scale are not market-driven, but government policy-driven to meet a climate-emergency. How, or even whether, EVs would have transitioned to scale without the forcing function of government actions to decarbonize transportation and energy is an interesting one to ponder.
