Study: Transition to 100% EVs by 2040 Could Save Over 100,000 American Lives

A new study suggests that transitioning the U.S. to an all-electric vehicle fleet by 2040 could prevent more than 100,000 premature deaths. The primary health improvements would stem from a significant reduction in air pollution, particularly from heavy-duty vehicles that currently burn diesel. This shift would mitigate respiratory and cardiovascular diseases linked to exhaust emissions.
