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. The controlled charging of EVs can reduce electricity costs and improve the integration of wind energy. Credit: ACS, Choi et al. Click to enlarge. Click to enlarge.
