A study led by researchers at University of Southern California has confirmed that the rapid uptake of electric vehicles in California is directly reducing air pollution in the real world. Not in simulations but on actual city streets. Using high-resolution satellite data from the Sentinel-5P instrument, the researchers tracked nitrog…
We often repeat that the electric car "does the planet good." In California, it begins to do good to the lungs. A detailed study, based on real satellite data and registrations, shows that the more a neighborhood adopts zero-emission vehicles, the more traffic-related pollution recedes. It's not spectacular, but it's measurable, and that's already it.
