In contrast, internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles can only refuel at a gas station licensed to handle and store an inflammable liquid. The Union of Concerned Scientists documents that an ICE vehicle in Ohio must maintain an average of 60 mpg to equal the emissions used to produce what’s needed to run an EV for the same distance.

The challenge is how to reduce emissions while enabling the expansion in air travel to support economic growth and the personal and social benefits of travel. Two of GE’s CT7 engines will be combined with electric propulsion units to demonstrate a megawatt-class parallel hybrid electric system. Consider the modern turbofan jet engine.

High-end engineering and computer software and systems jobs at auto suppliers are also at risk , as auto manufacturers are moving to shift those jobs in-house. One study shows that even in 2050, some 44 percent of all vehicle sales globally will still have internal combustion engines, albeit perhaps using biofuels.
