The approach described is designed to meet simultaneously federal air quality standards; achieve greenhouse gas emission reduction targets; reduce petroleum consumption; and decrease health risk from transportation sources through 2030.

The bill also modifies the Clean Air Act to require the development of greenhouse gas emissions standards for all other mobile sources—e.g., Within three years of enactment, the EPA would need to determine the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of all transportation fuels and determine the fuel emission baseline.

The basic question addressed, which appears on the study homepage (epri-reports.org) is this: How would air quality and greenhouse gas emissions be affected if significant numbers of Americans drove cars that were fueled by the power grid? And the grid is getting cleaner and more renewable every year.

Denver represents an interesting case study for exploring potential PHEV impacts because it violates the federal air quality standard for ozone and because several large EGUs [electricity generating units] are located in or near the urbanized area. Ozone concentration increases were modeled for small areas near central Denver.

This partnership was led by EPA’s Design for the Environment (DfE) Program, in the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, and the National Risk Management Research Laboratory, in EPA’s Office of Research and Development. 2 Occupational cancer hazard impact was scaled to 50% in this figure because of the wide range across stages.

A new report from the National Research Council examines and, when possible, estimates, “hidden” costs of energy production and use—such as the damage air pollution imposes on human health—that are not reflected in market prices of coal, oil, other energy sources, or the electricity and gasoline produced from them.

Grid cells where isoprene mixing ratio is lower than 50 pptv are not shown. Isoprene, a five-carbon diene formed naturally in plants and animals and a precursor of ozone, contributes more than 40% of these emissions. The latest finding can support the development of better models of global gas-aerosol chemistry. Paulot et al.

This SAE spec would make it so you could go to a gas station and they would have the proper voltage and plug for your car. I mean, when the electricity it uses is produces, pollution still happens, just not "right from your car"? but its never even been close to the amount of garbage that gas power vehicles produce.
