Electric Vehicles Help Combat Climate Change, Here’s Why.

Union of Concerned Scientists

APRIL 14, 2025

There is tremendous uncertainty about what policies the federal government will change that will affect electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing and sales in the US. Replacing gasoline with electricity greatly reduces the carbon emissions from driving, even when emissions from mining, manufacturing, and generating electricity are included.

The future of cars is electric. However, over the last month several automakers have said the transition from gasoline to electric vehicles (EVs) will need to slow down, in part citing demand. But right now, some potential buyers might be waiting to see new 2024 or 2025 models that have access to Tesla’s Supercharger network.
