Electric cars are becoming more popular in cities across the globe as people look for ways to reduce their environmental impact and save money on fuel costs. But did you know that electric cars can also help improve air quality and reduce transportation-related health issues, such as respiratory diseases?
According to a new study from the University of California, Berkeley, electric city cars can play a significant role in reducing pollution-related health problems. The study found that electric cars produce far less pollution than gasoline-powered cars, even when taking into account the emissions from power plants that generate electricity.
On a per-mile basis, electric cars generate about half the emissions of gasoline cars. When you factor in the emissions from power plants, electric cars are still about 30% cleaner than gasoline cars.
The study also found that electric cars can significantly reduce traffic congestion and save people time. In fact, the researchers found that electric cars could reduce traffic congestion by up to 50% in some cities.
So, not only are electric cars better for the environment, they can also save you time and improve your health. What’s not to love?
