Report is titled: Life cycle air quality impacts of conventional andalternative light-duty transportation in theUnited States
It seems the main stream press has taken this to task citing the PNAS report that EV's cars can pollute more than gas cars. Thus making the case for EVs more difficult to defend. What I'm not sure is the report did not take into consideration I believe is the amount of electricity to make the fuel. This single fact I think would significantly alter the report to favor EV cars over gas. Of course their many of other reasons to drive EV's over ICE gas cars. Some major news outlets and even my local news station KPIX TV started citing a new report http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2014/12/10/1406853111.full.pdf#page=1&view=FitH from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. That EV's pollute more than gas cars when you take in the energy to manufacture the EV and batteries. What I could not find in the report so far is citing the amount of energy it takes to make 1 gallon of gas. As cited here http://gatewayev.org/how-much-electricity-is-used-refine-a-gallon-of-gasoline it takes 6KW for 1 gallon of fuel.
