Study finds electric micromobility cuts oil demand 4x more than EVs
2 Sep 11 · 13d ago · 2 posts · 2 sources · development 2 of 2
Research published by The Conversation reports that 280 million electric mopeds, scooters, motorcycles, and three-wheelers on global roads are reducing oil demand by approximately 1 million barrels per day—about 1% of world total—dwarfing the impact of 20 million electric vehicles and 1.3 million commercial EVs. The analysis attributes this to heavy adoption in China and other nations where two- and three-wheelers are common transport.
“They are actually displacing four times as much demand for oil as all the world's electric cars at present, due to their staggering uptake in China and other nations where mopeds are a common form of transport.”
