What is Electrification of Transportation?

Driivz

The primary goal is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and, ultimately, contribute to mitigating the effects of climate change on the planet. Sounds simple, but it’s more complicated than just replacing internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles with electric vehicles (EVs). What is the potential for reducing emissions?
