Replacing gasoline with electricity greatly reduces the carbon emissions from driving. Based on where electric vehicles (EVs) have been sold, driving the average EV in the US produces global warming emissions equal to a hypothetical 94 mile per gallon gasoline car, or less than a third of the emissions of the average new gasoline car. Transportation is the largest sector for emissions , and passenger cars, trucks, and SUVs are the majority of transportation emissions, so there is no way to slow
The transition to 100 percent zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sales by 2035 will require massive investment in electric vehicle charging infrastructure throughout California and in other states that have adopted the same phaseout targets. A variety of structural barriers to charging access make California’s priority populations particularly reliant on public charging infrastructure to meet their ZEV needs.

By Jeremy Williams The circular economy is a vital part of the transition to a sustainable future. It’s how we make manufactured items sustainable, moving from a system of use and disposal to a model of reuse and repair. That’s easy enough to imagine with small items, but what does it look like for cars? In order to make a car fit for the circular economy, we’d need to start with reducing the amount of materials used.
