How EVs Are Reducing Carbon (CO2) Emissions

Blink Charging

In 2019, the European Union and the United States both mandated minimum noise requirements for electric vehicles operating at low speeds in order to alert nearby pedestrians: “at least 56 decibels when traveling under 12 mph (20 km/h)” in Europe and “ 43 to 64 decibels when they are moving at less than 18.6 mph” in the United States.
