Are electric vehicles (EVs) driven as far as conventional gasoline-powered vehicles? Engineering management and systems engineering professor John Helveston and co-authors Lujin Zhao, Eliese Ottinger, and Arthur Hong Chun Yip suggest the answer is no, or at least not yet, based on their findings in the study Quantifying electric vehicle mileage in the United States.
Published in Joule on November 15, 2023, this study builds upon existing research that also demonstrates EVs are being driven less. Various news outlets have covered the study’s findings and what they mean for federal policymakers. Read the full articles on Axios, E&E News, and Scientific American to learn more about the study’s implications. Additionally, learn more of the study’s significant findings in an article by the American Council on Science and Health and in a thread on X, formerly known as Twitter, posted by Helveston.
