3. Motivation in the 21st century
3.2. Pollutant emissions
Probably the most important motivation for the electrification of road transport is the emissions of internal combustion engines.
- Internal combustion engine cars emit a number of pollutants directly on the streets.
- Cities in particular are plagued by smog, which is largely driven by traffic.
- In some parts of the world, smog is the main motivation for switching to electric cars (especially China).
