Electric cars credited with lower CO2 emissions in US neighborhoods
==========

A new study conducted by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, has found that the increased adoption of electric cars in parts of California is reducing CO2 emissions in those areas. The study used a network of sensors set up around the San Francisco Bay Area to measure the volume of carbon dioxide being emitted. Over a five-year period, the sensors recorded a 1.8 percent drop in emissions every year. The researchers concluded that electrification was having a measurable effect on reducing CO2 emissions. The state of California has an ambition to be net zero in 2045 and requires a decrease in emissions of a little more than three and a half percent per year for the next 20 plus years. The study supports California's plan to ban the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035 and puts the state ahead of the 2050 target of the United States as a whole.
