At the Union of Concerned Scientists, we’ve been looking into the benefits rural drivers could enjoy from switching from a gasoline vehicle to an electric vehicle. The lack of an accessible outlet to charge an EV at home is one such challenge faced by drivers when considering switching to an electric vehicle.

Switching from gasoline and diesel engines to electric motors is one of the most effective ways to reduce global warming emissions and air pollution. In California, driving on electricity using the average plug-in vehicle can lower emissions to that of a hypothetical gasoline car that achieves 116 miles per gallon fuel economy.
