Question

Th equation CO2 = PMT x VMT/PMT x Energy/VMT x Carbon/Energy regarding carbon emissions.  What do the authors of the case say it tells us about the role of electric cars from case study Cullinane, S. (2003). Hong Kong’s Low Car Dependence: Lessons and Prospects.  Journal of Transport Geography, 11, 25-35.?

Answer 1

According to the authors,

Th equation CO₂ = PMT x VMT/PMT x Energy/VMT x Carbon/Energy

shows us that embracing an electric vehicle outlook required lifestyle changes, like emission reductions by improving energy efficient of the vehicle or reducing intensity of the energy it used.
