The Rise of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles
The transportation sector is a well-recognized contributor to anthropogenic climate change and air pollution. Internal combustion engines utilize non-renewable petrochemical-based fuels, which are drivers of carbon emissions. To overcome the environmental and health challenges associated with ICE vehicles, companies have developed electric and hybrid vehicles in recent decades.
The market share of fully electric and hybrid…
