Short Circuit: The High Cost of Electric Vehicle Subsidies

Broad-based adoption of ZEVs will increase overall emissions of sulfur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, and particulates, compared with the same number of new internal combustion engines.

interesting.

on the plus side, i'm guessing that hundreds of thousands of people who live near freeways and busy highways will benefit from reduced local pollution.

OTOH, i have no idea how many people live near the power plants which will be emitting more sulfur dioxide and other pollutants.

I agree, but I tend to think it’s easier to make power generation less impactful than to replace thousands of privately owned vehicles. Maybe I’m wrong there.
