The results were a 23.8% reduction in PM2.5, and a 30% reduction in carbon monoxide, resulting in some 320,000 fewer deaths from air pollution.
It’s not even the EV’s as much as the electric scooters and electric bikes. There are 100’s millions of scooters in China but all electric so no pollution.
I went on holiday to Thailand and got a shock from all the noise and air pollution caused by the normal scooters in Bangkok.
