Volkswagen LCA highlights carbon benefits of EV vs diesel on Golf: 119 vs 140 g CO2/km; ID. family to reduce footprint

Green Car Congress

In addition, the electric vehicles offer a higher CO 2 -saving potential in all phases of the product cycle. A corresponding vehicle with electric drive emits only 62 g CO 2 /km during this phase, which results from energy generation and supply. They decrease all the more, the more regenerative energies are available.
