The state of New Jersey could save $ 4bn in the American Lung Association 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. In New Jersey, those costs were estimated to run $4.6 billion. Nationwide, the study found yearly health benefits from reducing pollution could account for $ 4bn in saving by 2050 . The reduced healthcare costs and projected climate expenses are based on the assumption that approximately 65% of new cars sold in 2050 would be zero -emission vehicles, and that 100% of on-road passenger vehicles would be zero -emission cars.
