The study highlights that discontinuing combustion-engine vehicles can significantly reduce pollution-related health issues and subsequently cut healthcare costs, providing a notable economic incentive.
Switching to electric vehicles can lead to substantial financial savings, particularly in urban environments. However, the economic benefits in rural areas are contingent upon the energy sources powering the vehicles.
The economic implications of transitioning to electric vehicles are not uniform across the U.S.; rural regions may experience different health-related savings based on their power generation mix.
The research shows that if electric vehicles are powered by clean energy, the health benefits and related savings from reduced pollution can be maximized for both urban and rural populations.
