A study by a team at MIT has concluded that roughly 90% of the personal vehicles on the road in the US could be replaced by an electric vehicle available on the market today, even if the cars can only charge overnight. Reed Faculty Initiatives Fund, and the MIT Energy Initiative. The study, he says, is both “interesting and useful.”.

A new MIT report outlines a system-oriented set of coordinated policies to help the light-duty vehicle sector reduce petroleum-based consumption and its accompanying global warming emissions. The study was supported in part by the MIT Energy Initiative. Heywood et al., Taxes on motor vehicle fuels should be increased by $0.10

An analysis by a team from the University of California, Davis, MIT and Yale suggests that households that buy a fuel-efficient vehicle tend to compensate for that purchase by buying a bigger, more powerful second vehicle. This unintended effect could erode goals of fuel economy standard policies by up to 60%.
