Nationwide, the health benefits from reducing pollution from passenger cars fueled by gasoline could grow to $20 billion a year by 2050, according to a study by the American Lung Association of California. The state of New Jersey could save $4bn in healthcare and climate costs by 2050 if it can convince drivers to use electric vehicles, according to a study by the American Lung Association of California. A new report from the California Air Resources Board found that driving an EV would cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 30% compared with current levels – equivalent to taking more than 200,000 cars off the road. The reduced healthcare costs and projected climate expenses are based on the assumption that 100% of new cars sold in 2050 would be zero-emission vehicles, and that approximately 65% of on-road passenger vehicles would be zero-emission cars.
