The development of new technology requires the evaluation of the overall benefit to cost ratio of the new technology. which factor would least likely be used in a benefit-cost analysis of electric vehicles (evs) when comparing to traditional internal combustion vehicles? a) fuel cost b) emissions c) fuel economy eliminate d) ride comfort

The factor related to ride comfort would be least likely to be used in a benefit-cost analysis of electric vehicles.

Option D

Explanation:

The electric vehicles are the best alternative to traditional internal combustion vehicles. The electric vehicles have advantages of no hazardous emission of fuel, no fuel cost and so the fuel economy will be maintained.

The benefit-cost analysis is the ratio of benefits attained by the consumer, producer and society in terms of saving of different expenses like fuel, pollution etc. to the production and buying cost of the vehicle.

In traditional internal combustion vehicle, the benefit to cost analysis ratio is around 0.7 and the electric vehicles reach this ratio after many changes. But the comfort of the ride is not included in the analysis of benefit-cost ratio.

i don't know that i agree with that but what's the question ?
