An open-access paper on the work is published in the journal Atmospheric Environment. results indicate that traffic is the dominating source of BC and particulate air pollution in the metropolitan area of La Paz/El Alto. Therefore, air pollution in this region has a particularly strong impact on the atmosphere and the global climate.

Battery electric cars emit less greenhouse gases and air pollutants over their entire life cycle than petrol and diesel cars, according to a European Environment Agency (EEA) report. Emissions are usually higher in the production phase of electric cars, but these are more than offset by lower emissions in the use phase over time.

The objections they raised for years -- "no one is interested, no one would plug in, the technology is too complex, the benefits are minimal, its just shifting the pollution from the tailpipe to the smokestack, theres no demand for these cars" -- still show up occasionally, but are by and large history. We need to know, is it viable?
