Decarbonizing the Transportation Sector with E-mobility |
It's no secret that transportation is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). In fact, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency, transportation accounts for 29% of US GHGs, the most from any sector. The good news is that there are a number of trends that are helping to decarbonize the transportation sector. One of the most promising of these trends is the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and other e-mobility options, like electric 2 and 3-wheelers. The rapid increase of EVs, electric bikes, and other e-mobility transit options are important trends for cities in order to decarbonize transportation and reach net zero goals...
