LowCVP LCA study finds matching battery size with vehicle use is crucial for the environment

Green Car Congress

For electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles the carbon intensity of the power grid is also a key factor in terms of the vehicle’s full life cycle emissions. A follow-up project—“ Life cycle CO 2 e assessment of low carbon cars 2020-30 ”—was completed in 2013 by PE International. Source: Ricardo, LowCVP.

How EVs Are Reducing Carbon (CO2) Emissions

Blink Charging

Unlike internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, EVs emit no direct emissions when running on electricity. The upstream, “well to wheel” emissions of the EV are linked to electricity generation and the electrical grid, with lower emissions in regions that use more renewable energy sources. Let’s not forget our carbon footprint.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

We also expect to demonstrate the viability of other key concepts and systems, as well as the ability of these systems to interact with each other reliably in the harsh environment out at sea. Experts call this Power-to-X (PtX). That won’t be easy, given the extremely dynamic environment these platforms will have to function in.
