As a rule of thumb, EVs tend to be more expensive to insure than their gas-powered counterparts due to their cutting-edge technology and the high repair or replacement costs of their battery systems. Mississippi, conversely, presents the largest gap, with an extra $79 per month on average required to insure an EV over a traditional vehicle.

An important analytical issue that needs to be addressed, the report notes, is the lack of lifecycle assessment studies focusing on a wider set of environmental impact indicators than greenhouse gas emissions. Life-cycle assessments (LCA) of biofuels show a wide range of net greenhouse gas savings compared to fossil fuels.

Low-input cultivation of perennial plants, e.g. from short-rotation forestry and grasslands, may be an effective source of cellulosic biomass and provide environmental benefits (reduced pollution and lower greenhouse gas emissions). Ideally this should happen in a multi-stakeholder process at international level. Menichetti and Otto.
