A paper by a team from the University of Chicago and MIT suggests that technology-driven cost reductions in fossil fuels will lead to the continued use of fossil fuels—oil, gas, and coal—unless governments pass new taxes on carbon emissions. for oil, 24% for coal, and 20% for natural gas. —Christopher Knittel.

But some say that though an electric vehicle doesn’t produce any greenhouse gases, the production of electricity required to power these cars is generated by carbon-intensive processes. So that’s cleared up but there is one more area that has been overlooked which is the pollution involved with the supply chain of EVs.
