While battery electric vehicles have the obvious advantage of zero tail-pipe emissions, they are not equally advantaged when it comes to non-exhaust emissions. As reported earlier here ( earlier post ) a recent literature review by a team from the University of Edinburgh (Timmers et al. earlier post ). earlier post ). Background.

One standard is established for gasoline and the alternative fuels that can replace it. This allows for the development of advanced fuels that are lower in carbon than today’s fuels and the penetration of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, battery electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, and flexible fuel vehicles. —ARB ISOR.
