Volvo C40 Recharge LCA highlights huge potential of manufacturing and charging EVs with clean energy

Green Car Congress

Volvo Cars has published a lifecycle analysis report on its second fully electric car, the C40 Recharge, which shows the potential CO 2 reductions if a car is built and charged using clean energy sources. However, a significantly lower carbon footprint is achieved when charging the car with renewable electricity, such as wind power.
