Opinion: Government support for electric vehicles is good for everyone

Jessika Trancik (Institute for Data, Systems, and Society) writes about the importance of government policy supporting the electric vehicle transition: “Policy is needed to make EVs widely accessible to people while the technology and markets continue to mature and, in this way, to ensure the process moves quickly enough to help slow the build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.”

Jessika Trancik (Institute for Data, Systems, and Society) discusses electric vehicle emissions and ownership costs: “buyers should consider total cost of ownership, which for an EV is generally less than that of a gas-powered counterpart due to savings on maintenance and fuel.”
