In The News
“There are fewer sedans on the road — and most of them older, running on gasoline. Newer SUVs are getting more and more fuel-efficient, per Gil Tal, director of the Electric Vehicle Research Center at UC Davis. “
“The lack of demand for EV vehicles, including Rivian’s own, has also forced charging stations into a position where they generate little profit and often incur losses, according to Alan Jenn, an assistant professor at the University of California in an interview with The Washington Post—but there is a solution.”
“A 2018 UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies report found that carpooling and shared services can reduce urban vehicle miles travelled by up to 13%, directly improving air quality through reduced emissions.”
