Georgia Tech study suggests unlinking EVs from CAFE and coordinating with power sector for low-cost benefits

Green Car Congress

Only in the case of high EV market share and a high renewable electricity standard (RES) do EVs make a material contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions, they found. They considered biomass, wind, solar, and municipal waste resources within the Eastern Interconnection eligible to meet RESs. Credit: ACS, Choi et al.
