“Reducing emissions from the transportation sector is essential to building a sustainable and forward-looking economy in the United States. As the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the country, the transportation sector contributes 29% of total emissions, with personal vehicles alone contributing 58% of these. This underscores a critical opportunity for decarbonization in personal transportation. As the world grapples with climate change, transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs) offers a promising path to quickly reduce these emissions. This analysis places U.S. EV adoption in a global context and identifies initial policy recommendations to accelerate decarbonization in this vital sector.” (11/19/24)
