UC Berkeley study shows 1.8% annual decrease in California's San Francisco Bay Area CO2 emissions due to electric and hybrid vehicle adoption.

A UC Berkeley study reveals that the increased adoption of electric cars in parts of California, particularly the San Francisco Bay Area, is contributing to reduced carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in those areas. The research, conducted using a network of sensors, shows a 1.8% annual decrease in CO2 emissions over a five-year period, with the adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles being attributed to the decline. This development supports California's goal of achieving net-zero CO2 emissions by 2045.
