Abstract
⺠We quantify the effects of electric vehicles within greenhouse gas (GHG) regulation. ⺠Electric vehicle GHG impacts are substantial and vary greatly by grid power sources. ⺠Existing “zero emission” electric vehicle incentives undermine regulation benefits. ⺠10% electric vehicle sales leads to 20% erosion in regulation benefits by 2020-2025. ⺠Lifecycle crediting improves policy cost-effectiveness and technology neutrality.
