Regionally specific lifecycle CO 2 emissions per mile traveled for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in the US can vary widely based on grid emission factors (i.e., the “carbon footprint” of electricity production and use), according to a new study by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University.

Is the electric truck cost-effective in comparison with the diesel truck? The comparison involved a 2011 Smith Newton electric truck powered by a 120 kW electric motor, and a 2006 Freightliner truck powered by a Cummins diesel engine. The comparison controlled for improvements in diesel efficiency between 2006 and 2011.

Today, depending on the EV model, where it charges, and assuming it is a battery electric and not a hybrid vehicle, it may need to be driven anywhere from 8,400 to 13,500 miles , or controversially, significantly more to generate less GHG emissions than an ICE vehicle. The San Diego backlash over a mileage tax may be just the beginning.

As I’ve detailed before, special considerations need be made, even in a relatively long-range EV like our 2018 Model X, and more attention has to be paid to planning electrified road trips than coal-rolling ones. As a broad outline, we traveled from Sunnyvale, CA to Seaside, OR, which is roughly 750 miles each way. in tiny Mt.

Why pay $40K for a GM volt… which will look nothing more than a Malibu anyway and only get 40 miles before the gasoline engine kicks in.

The four-door sedan will deliver 40 miles on a charge; a small gasoline engine will recharge the battery as it approaches depletion, extending its range by as much as 200 miles. That way you have a fair basis of comparison, you know, apples to apples and all that jazz. Now all you hear is highway miles. Thats right.
