Abstract
In the area of emissions reduction, electric vehicles (EVs) show enormous promise. An Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) study estimates that in typical urban areas, substituting an EV for a gasoline-powered vehicle would reduce the primary emissions levels dramatically. They emit 99% less volatile organic compounds, 99% less CO, 83% less NO/sub x/ and 54% less CO/sub 2/. Here, the author describes how EVs are the way ahead for a cleaner environment.
