Assessing the health impacts of electric vehicles through air pollution in the United States
Abstract
Electric vehicles lead to substantial air pollution health benefits in the U.S. Electric vehicles lead to positive benefits in all 53 metropolitan areas studied. Benefits of vehicle electrification vary widely among metropolitan areas in the U.S. Rapid fleet electrification warrants incentives due to quickly achievable benefits.
