The development of the new energy automobile industry has had a great impact on the American economy. However, in the growth of the new energy automobile industry, whether it has produced certain environmental and health benefits needs to be discussed urgently. Therefore, this paper evaluates the short-term and long-term environmental and health benefits of the new energy vehicle promotion through theoretical review, factual analysis, and metrological tests. The results are as follows. Firstly, the current promotion of new energy vehicles in the United States has given rise to significant emission reduction and energy-saving effects, but it has failed to effectively reduce per capita medical expenditure and improve residents’ health; Secondly, from a long-term perspective, the health benefits of the new energy vehicles promotion will gradually emerge, so it is vital to consistently develop the new energy vehicle industry; Finally, the new energy automobile industry in the United States will still be in a fluctuating growth trend in the future. Strengthening its risk avoidance ability is of indispensable practical significance for optimizing the industrial structure of the United States, guiding the development of emerging industries, and solving environmental and health problems.
