The cleaner the grid, the cleaner the EV, as electric vehicle (EV) enthusiasts, like to say. That is unquestionably correct. All-electric vehicles, unlike gasoline-fueled vehicles, do not generate any type of exhaust pollution, smog, or climate change.
In the middle of a pandemic, electric vehicle sales in the United States were likewise encouraging. EV sales increased about 45 percent from the first quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of this year, reaching almost 100,000 units from January to March, a one-quarter high. So far, this year's sales have surpassed the total number of electric vehicles sold in 2020, which is 252,548. However, electric car sales accounted for less than 2% of all car sales in the United States.
Given that the transportation sector is currently the leading source of carbon emissions in the United States, accounting for 29% of total emissions, it is critical to the transition from gasoline to electricity as soon as feasible. Moreover, EVs are ready to take off now that a new administration is encouraging them, and major automakers are releasing more EV models.
