U Delaware team develops prototype efficient direct ammonia fuel cell for transportation

Green Car Congress

With recent and projected cost declines in wind, solar, and lithium-ion batteries, electrification using batteries has become a viable option for applications compatible with the inherent range limitations and recharging time. Together, these applications leave a substantial fraction of transportation energy usage dependent on chemical fuels.

A shift to EVs and clean power could save almost 90,000 American lives by 2050: study

Teslarati

This is, at least, if the transition to electric vehicles also involved greater reliance on clean electricity from sources such as wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, and nuclear. That’s a compelling incentive for the shift to sustainable transportation. So that’s an important part, too.
