Electric drive vehicles (EDVs) are one way of reducing vehicle emissions that contribute two-thirds of all air pollution in most cities.
An electric vehicle is a motor vehicle, such as an automobile, truck, or bus, which uses a rechargeable battery for fuel, replacing gasoline, diesel or other types of combustible fuels.

The considerable increase in electricity use in the past century does not seem to have been accompanied by major increases in the incidence of the types of cancers discussed.
