Electric vehicles will contribute to air quality in Israel less than in France and Denmark, these are the results of a study recently published in the Journal of Environment Protection by Prof. Ofira Ayalon. The purpose of the study was to determine a “price tag”, enabling to assess environmental and health benefits of the transition from internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles. Findings of the study show that the transition will save (or benefit) 44.34 euros per 10,000 miles of travel in Israel, 80.64 euros in Denmark and France 110.79 euros per 10,000 miles travelled.
