Why EVs Aren't a Climate Change Panacea

Cars That Think

It is completely wrong,” Fatih Birol , Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), has stated. Analysis by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) argues that EVs are the quickest means to decarbonize motorized transport. The San Diego backlash over a mileage tax may be just the beginning.

How Will EV Charging Powered by Renewable Energy Create a Greener World

Driivz

Renewable energy was the main source of energy before the discovery of oil, coal, and natural gas. The increasing focus on EVs has been driven by the desire to reduce the significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by internal combustion engine-powered vehicles using fossil fuels.
