Life Cycle of CO sub(2)-Emissions from Electric Vehicles and Gasoline Vehicles Utilizing a Process-Relational Model

Life cycle carbon dioxide emissions from electric- and gasoline-powered vehicles are estimated with a process-relational model. The manufacture and operation of electric vehicles results in less CO sub(2) emissions relative to gasoline vehicles. The difference between electric and gasoline vehicle e...

Description
Summary:Life cycle carbon dioxide emissions from electric- and gasoline-powered vehicles are estimated with a process-relational model. The manufacture and operation of electric vehicles results in less CO sub(2) emissions relative to gasoline vehicles. The difference between electric and gasoline vehicle emissions changes markedly depending on traffic conditions; the difference becomes larger as the average velocity of vehicles becomes lower.
