A new study sheds light on the benefits and implications of the use of electric vehicles in rural Alaska.
Electric vehicles, or EVs, are widely thought to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Many rural communities in Alaska are not connected to larger electric grids. They use diesel fuels to generate most of their electricity and face extremely cold conditions not experienced elsewhere.
Would those communities benefit from EVs?
University of Alaska researchers partnered with the communities of Kotzebue, Galena and Bethel to find out where, how and for whom EVs can provide benefits.
