Electric vehicle fleet penetration helps address inequalities in air quality and improves environmental justice
S. Y. Chang, J. Huang, et al.
This study by Shih Ying Chang, Jiaoyan Huang, Melissa R. Chaveste, Frederick W. Lurmann, Douglas S. Eisinger, Anondo D. Mukherjee, Garnet B. Erdakos, Marcus Alexander, and Eladio Knipping reveals how aggressive electric vehicle adoption in Southern California could significantly reduce air pollution, particularly benefiting communities of color. The research highlights a 30% reduction in nitrogen dioxide and a 14% reduction in fine particulate matter disparities, paving the way for improved environmental justice.
