Electric vehicles will not only mitigate climate change, but they reduce air pollution and improve health. A study in California found that electric cars, or light-duty zero emissions vehicles (ZEVs)made a significant difference. The team compared data on total ZEV registration, air pollution levels and asthma-related emergency room visits across the state between 2013 to 2019. As ZEV adoption increased within a given zip code, local air pollution levels and emergency room visits dropped.
