Study finds all-electric rideshare fleet could reduce carbon emissions, but increase traffic issues

Green Car Congress

The analysis indicated that electrified fleets had 40-45% lower greenhouse gas costs per trip compared to the gasoline-powered version. In the simulations, battery-powered vehicles, particularly the 40 kWh ones, needed more frequent and longer trips without passengers to get to recharging stations. 2c07030
