Fig. 4: Cumulative emissions from the car transport sector in three scenarios under the assumption of full global electrification (global EV sales share 100%) in different years (see SI for more information).
From: Combining electrification and alternative fuels: an effective strategy to decarbonize the car sector
The Paris climate goal is reached irrespectively of the year of full electrification. While the reference cases (Fig. 1) only assume full electrification in the most ambitious case (developed countries, optimistic scenario), the measure shows great potential by avoiding an ICE fleet in the second half of the century.
