Electric vs Internal Combustion Vehicles

 

Electric vs Internal Combustion Vehicles

 For those with the interest and time, these are references to studies and articles on the efficacy and economics of electric versus internal combustion vehicles.  Unfortunately, this topic, like many others, has been impacted and influenced by politics.  I’ve tried here to stay with the science and economics, but some contemporary politics colors some of these references.
