From boosting your local economy to saving your lungs to simply a more fun experience! you'll be surprised at the 30 reasons outlined at: https://cleantechnica.com/2019/06/16/30-reasons-to-buy-an-electric-car-today/

Excerpt:
“Air pollution from road transport costs OECD countries approximately $1 trillion a year in negative health effects (cancer, premature death, asthma, heart attacks, etc.),” as noted in another article $1 trillion ain’t pocket change — and there’s suffering that goes along with it."

Excerpt:

For those vehicles that do not use liquid fuels—such as electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles operating on electricity, and compressed natural gas vehicles—the labels display miles per gallon of gasoline-equivalent (MPGe). Think of this as being similar to MPG, but instead of presenting miles per gallon of the vehicle’s fuel type, it represents the number of miles the vehicle can go using a quantity of fuel with the same energy content as a gallon of gasoline. This allows a reasonable comparison between vehicles using different fuels. For example, you can use MPGe to compare a compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicle with a gasoline vehicle; even though CNG is not dispensed or burned in gallons."

Excerpt:
“[Current] energy and climate policies are not sufficient to overcome the growth in economic activity or energy-use growth,” said Glen Peters, research director at the Center for International Climate Research in Norway and a co-author of the new report. “So there’s no other alternative but to ramp up policies, basically, otherwise emissions will keep rising.”

Sortable tables include sales of electric vehicles (PHEV and BEV) and the EV market share (percent of EVs sold of total light vehicles sold within each state) for all 50 US states and Washington, D.C.

The Transportation Energy Evolution Modeling (TEEM) Program at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) recently performed an analysis of the market share potential of plug-in hybrids and EVs to determine (1) the approximate distribution of PEV market shares in future years and (2) the key factors that affect market penetration.

The study projected the market share for plug-in hybrids and EVs from 2010 through 2050 by performing a Monte Carlo simulation using the Acceptance of Advanced Automotive Technologies (MA3T) model and @Risk®.

Details of the study are described in the published article "Quantifying the Uncertainty of the EV Market": Results from Monte Carlo Simulations Using a Nested Logit Model.
