EPRI-NRDC report finds widespread vehicle electrification and a cleaner grid could lead to substantial cuts in GHG by 2050

Green Car Congress

This research points to the importance of two fundamental and parallel trends in energy and the environment. Considering the electric power sector and transportation sectors together, net emissions of pollutants leading to atmospheric ozone and fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) decrease in the electrification scenario.
