Georgia Tech study suggests unlinking EVs from CAFE and coordinating with power sector for low-cost benefits

Green Car Congress

Only in the case of high EV market share and a high renewable electricity standard (RES) do EVs make a material contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions, they found. In their study, they considered the aggregate implications of EV adoption, fuel economy policy, EV charging methods, and renewable electricity standards (RESs).
