According to Sawyer Merritt, referencing research from Duke and Northern Arizona University, electric vehicles (EVs) offset their higher manufacturing emissions and become cleaner than gasoline-powered cars after just three years of use. The study, co-authored by Duke professor Drew Shindell, found that gas vehicles cause twice as much environmental damage over their lifetime compared to EVs. As renewable energy sources like solar and wind are increasingly integrated into the power grid, the environmental benefits of EVs are expected to grow. The findings highlight significant opportunities for AI-driven optimization in EV manufacturing, grid integration, and battery management, creating a robust business case for further AI adoption in the clean mobility sector (Source: Sawyer Merritt on Twitter, Oct 30, 2025).
