EVs also eliminate carbon monoxide deaths while cars are on the road in a snowstorm.
> At least six people have died from carbon monoxide poisoning in the wake of a massive blizzard that pounded the Eastern U.S. The deaths have many fire departments -- including some in the D.C. area --reminding residents to clear their home and car exhausts of snow.
> Many of the deaths happened as the victims worked to clear snow from a vehicle.
> In New Jersey, 23-year-old Sashalynn Rosa, of Passaic, and her 1-year-old son, Messiah Bonilla, died of carbon monoxide poisoning while sitting in a running car that had its tailpipe covered in snow. Rosa's 3-year-old daughter, Saniyah Bonilla, was hospitalized in critical condition and died on Jan. 27. The father of the children was just steps away shoveling snow from around the car.
> Angel Ginel of New York died in a similar way Monday afternoon. Police say Ginel was found inside his running, plowed-in car in Brooklyn. His relatives believe he got inside the car to warm up Sunday, and the car got buried.
> The Fairfax County Fire Department says a car's exhaust pipe should be cleared before starting the vehicle. And while sitting inside to stay warm is tempting, you should not sit in a running car with the windows closed.
