Georgia Tech study suggests unlinking EVs from CAFE and coordinating with power sector for low-cost benefits

Green Car Congress

With no EVs, total GHG emissions from the transportation and electricity sectors are projected to be 12% lower in 2030 than in 2010 due to the fuel efficiency standards, a projected partial shift from coal to natural gas, and the current RES. A negative value means the case has a lower TCE than the reference case. Credit: ACS, Choi et al.
