Throughout this article, we’ll refer to ICEVs and EVs; here’s a quick breakdown explaining the difference between the two. When measuring the efficiency of a vehicle, it has become common to measure the processes involved in the entire ‘life cycle’ of a vehicle – referred to as ‘cradle to grave’. Here’s what we discovered.

The life cycle to which we refer has two parts: The vehicle cycle begins with mining the raw materials, refining them, turning them into components, and assembling them. And because the entire point of EVs is to replace fossil fuels, the grid would need more renewable sources of energy, which typically generate energy intermittently.
