Comparing the climate and air pollution footprints of Lithium-ion BEVs and ICEs in the US incorporating systemic energy system responses
With rising travel demand and the need to tackle both the air quality and climate change challenges caused by fossil fuel vehicles, there is an urgent need to transition to cleaner and more sustainable fuels. While lithium-ion battery electric vehicles (BEVs) produce no emissions during operation, they increase electricity consumption, affecting emissions from that activity. Furthermore, there is an ongoing debate about the overall cleanliness of lithium-ion batteries when assessing emissions t…
