The electric vehicle revolution could play a great deal in helping slow down global warming and potentially achieve a carbon-free future. The transition could actually happen sooner than expected as researchers at MIT have found that nearly 90 percent of America’s current personal vehicles could be electrified. If the switch happens, it could lead to an approximately 30 percent reduction in transportation emissions, which would more than meet the country’s climate targets for personal vehicle travel.
