If Australia is to decarbonise our energy system by 2050, we need to start the transition to electric vehicles very soon. Cars sold in the 2030s will mostly still be on the road in 2050, so we have to make sure most of them are electric. But electric cars (including plug-in hybrids) currently account for only 3.5% of new car sales in Australia.

The urgent need to cut carbon emissions has prompted a growing number of U.S. states to commit to achieving 100 percent clean electricity by 2040 or 2050.

Two-way exchanges between Canadian hydropower and New England renewable energy could yield significant benefits, lowering the cost of decarbonization and accelerating the process, thereby helping efforts to achieve a carbon-free electric power system in 2050, says MIT study.
