Description

Overview:

Over 90% of transportation is fueled by oil, and transportation accounts for almost two thirds of the oil used worldwide. Transportation is responsible for 15% of global Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and is a major contributor to other air pollutants that affect human health. One of the most effective ways to decarbonize transportation is to replace gasoline powered personal vehicles (which account for 60% of the energy used in transportation) with electric vehicles (EVs). Long-distance travel via air, maritime, and long-haul road, on the other hand, is harder to decarbonize.
