EPRI-NRDC Study Documents Important Role of Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles
A new study offers important evidence that plug-in hybrid electric vehicles can be a significant component of the national effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
EPRI and NRDC partnered to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the environmental impacts that occur when plug-in hybrids shift emissions from the tailpipe to the smokestack. One of the key findings is that widespread adoption of plug-in hybrids could reduce annual emissions of greenhouse gases from vehicles by more than 450 million metric tons by 2050, the equivalent of removing 82 million passenger cars, or one-third of today’s light duty cars and trucks, from the road.
Review the complete study.
