Electric cars and the integration with smart transportation systems
The transportation sector is the second leading cause of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. Passenger cars and light trucks account for almost 60% of these emissions.1 Electric vehicles (EVs) have the potential to significantly reduce these emissions.
EVs are powered by electricity from batteries, which can come from a variety of sources, including renewable energy sources like solar and wind power.2 When powered by renewable energy, EVs produce zero emissions.3
The transportation sector is also a major consumer of oil. In 2016, passenger cars and light trucks consumed about 384 million barrels of oil, which was about 60% of the total oil consumed in the United States.4 EVs can help reduce our dependence on oil.
The integration of EVs into the transportation system will require changes in infrastructure and policies.5 For example, the electric grid will need to be upgraded to accommodate the increased demand for electricity from EVs.6 And, policies will need to be put in place to encourage the use of EVs and to ensure that the benefits of EVs are shared by all.
The integration of EVs into the transportation system presents a unique opportunity to create a more sustainable and efficient transportation system.7 EVs can help us reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases and our dependence on oil. With the right policies in place, EVs can also help us create a more equitable and just transportation system.
