A new study from the University of California (UC) Berkeley shows a steady, albeit modest, decline in carbon emissions with increased electric vehicle (EV) adoption over the last few years. This study, he adds, was the first to look at a larger area and make a connection between a decline in carbon emissions and EV adoption.
