From this report
I’ll note that California is a bit unusual, having imposed energy efficiency standards on buildings decades ago (much of the US didn’t) and having actively taken steps to substitute solar, wind, and storage for fossil-fuel based electric generation
Sure, but there are likely 4% more cars on the road now than there were in 2019. One graph I see shows about a 1% YoY growth of the car population in the US. EVs might have saved us from a 4% increase in car emissions, but car emissions are still increasing. I am really not convinced that EVs are the solution to the US’s massive car emissions. Ban production of all gas cars in 2024 and then maybe there’s a solution in sight.
