From Cradle to Grave, Electric Vehicles Have Fewer Greenhouse Gas Emissions Than Conventional Vehicles
Cradle-to-grave greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for a small gasoline SUV in 2020 were estimated to be 429 grams of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) per mile, while the same size EV with 300 miles of range had 48% fewer GHG emissions.
Argonne National Laboratory’s (Argonne) 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.
The analysis showed that EVs also have fewer GHG emissions than conventional gasoline or hybrid electric vehicles when the entire life cycle is considered.
