De Neufville and his colleagues maintain that the electricity produced to power electric vehicles also creates pollution; therefore, electric vehicles do not reduce air pollution but merely move the emissions to another location. Due to continuing improvements in reducing emissions in conventional vehicles, electric vehicles will have a negligible effect on reducing air pollution, they assert. Instead of mandating electric vehicles as a means of reducing air pollution, the authors recommend more research and development of alternative vehicles. The authors are all based at the Massachusetts...
