2021 was a big year for energy-related news, what with the ongoing hunt for new forms of energy storage and cleaner if not carbon-free electricity and events and research that spotlighted the weak links in our power grid. Well, let's think. And nature ‘messed’ with that judgment.” She looked at a recent study out of the U.S.

Renault’s comparison of the carbon footprint of EV and ICE vehicles over production, operation and end of life. is shown with both UK and French grid mixes. Li-ion system production in the LCA. That said, the EV’s carbon footprint remains better than the gasoline and diesel versions in any case. Click to enlarge.

Costs of light-duty plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are high—largely due to their lithium-ion batteries—and unlikely to drastically decrease in the near future, according to a new report from the National Research Council (NRC). Most of the electricity used to power these cars will be supplied from the nation’s power grid.
