EVs could save billions of dollars and thousands of lives, study claims | E&ampT Magazine
Researchers from Northwestern University combined climate modelling with public health data to evaluate the impact of electric vehicles (EVs) on US lives and the economy.
Around $17bn (£13bn) would be saved annually if only 25 per cent of vehicles were EVs due to the avoidance of damages from climate change and air pollution.
Furthermore, if 75 per cent of cars were replaced with EVs, alongside increased renewable energy generation, the savings could reach $70bn annually.
