Cornell study examines trade-off between critical metals requirement and transportation decarbonization

Green Car Congress

Higher EV penetration reduces GHG emissions from fuel use regardless of the transportation energy transition, while those from fuel production are more sensitive to energy-sector decarbonization and could reach nearly “net zero” by 2040. —Zhang et al. (a) Zhang et al.
