New Delhi could significantly improve air quality for its 31 million residents by replacing fuel-burning ride-share vehicles with battery-powered electric cars, a new UCLA-led study shows. The researchers say, the transition would result in economic benefits in a relatively short period of time. Electrifying the city’s entire ride-share fleet, they found, would cut some 180 metric tons of tailpipe nitric oxide emissions.
