Even if a person does not have asthma, but owns a car with an internal combustion engine, it contributes to these economic losses. Spent every tank of gasoline adds $18,42 to the cost of health care and the environment, which are covered by the taxes of citizens.

The transition to electric vehicles could radically change the picture. Analysts estimate that by 2050, 65% of the fleet in those 10 States will provide zero emissions of carbon monoxide and other harmful gases. Spending on health and climate will be reduced to $15.7 billion If the States also fully switch to renewable energy, the savings will increase by another 40%.
These perspectives are very real, as now the sales of electric cars in the US are growing at a rapid pace. From July to September, the country sold 45 000 plug-in hybrids. Sales for the third quarter increased by 60% compared to the same period last year.

Recently, the Senator of Ohio Sherrod brown has proposed a bill that would allow employers to pay them $250 a month to cover the cost of charging.
