Yu, Q., He, B.Y., Ma, J. et al. California’s zero-emission vehicle adoption brings air quality benefits yet equity gaps persist. Nat Commun
Objective:
- Analyse the historical zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) adoption trend for disadvantaged communities (DAC) and non-DACs between 2015 and 2020
Case:
- California
Methodology:
- CalEnviroScreen 4.0
- Activity-based model: MATSim
Data Source
- ZEV
- Emission
Findings:
- ZEV ownership gaps between DACs and non-DACs still remain
- Even communities with low ZEV ownership receive near-roadway air quality benefits from ZEV trips
