Whenever zero emission electric drive replaces the 280 million gas-burning vehicles that currently travel along US roads, there will be a collective freakout over the cost of new power generation assets needed to handle the load. Or not, as the case may be. The electric vehicle of 2050 could be a more efficient piece of machinery than today’s models, enabling them to push fossil fuels aside while reducing the need for new energy infrastructure.
“The model has been used over the past 15 years to assess consumer energy choices and optimal grid/energy system buildout under a wide range of policy and technology scenarios,” EPRI adds.If you’re wondering where alternative transportation fits into the vehicle electrification picture, that’s a good question.
Access to rooftop solar panels, home energy storage, and other distributed energy resources could also help electric vehicle owners avoid sucking power from the grid.could also come into play, the 2050 timeline could be a good fit. Though, there are many hurdles to overcome. If you have any thoughts about that, drop us a note in the comment thread.However, we digress.
“Efficiency and lightweighting steps could effectively cut energy consumption per mile in half over the next 30 years,” the study explains.
