Electric Vehicles
One important way to reduce emissions is to convert from fossil-powered, internal-combustion-engine (ICE) powered cars and trucks to all-electric ones, or EVs. This has a number of important benefits, particularly in reduced operating and maintenance costs, as well as some significant limitations based on current technology. The industry is rapidly evolving as companies around the world introduce new models and as EV charging facilities become more widely available.
