FOTW #1303, August 14, 2023: From Cradle to Grave, Electric Vehicles Have Fewer Greenhouse Gas Emissions Than Conventional Vehicles
Cradle-to-grave greenhouse gas emissions for a small gasoline SUV in 2020 were estimated to be 429 grams of carbon dioxide equivalent per mile, while the same size EV with 300 miles of range had 48% fewer GHG emissions. Argonne National Laboratory’s cradle-to-grave analysis considered everything from raw material extraction to vehicle scrappage to provide a holistic view of the sustainability of different vehicle and fuel technologies.
This analysis includes emissions related to raw material extraction, fuel production and transport, vehicle manufacturing, vehicle use, and vehicle end-of-life, but not supporting infrastructure systems .Future technologies are potential future vehicle efficiency gains based on the adoption of advanced technologies in the U.S. in the 2030‒2035 timeframe.Source: Kelly, Jarod C., Elgowainy, Amgad, Isaac, Raphael, Ward, Jacob, Islam, Ehsan, Rousseau, Aymeric, Sutherland, Ian, Wallington, Timothy J.
