A large scale roll-out of electric cars on European roads would result in significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions and lower levels of certain air pollutants, according to a new European Environment Agency (EEA) assessment. This amount is equivalent to around 10% of the total emissions estimated for that year. Source: EEA.
