At what point does an EV’s lifetime CO2 emissions break even with those of an ICE vehicle? Some say it's under 10K miles, others over 100K miles—and both can be right, depending on the factors considered.
In this episode of "5 Minutes with George Howson" F1 Chronicle, we dive into the data behind these calculations, exploring key variables such as:
- The impact of EV range on battery manufacturing emissions
- ICE vehicle mileage ratings
- Electricity production emission difference (coal, gas, hydro, wind, nuclear)
- Average miles driven per year
Join us as we unravel how different combinations of these factors can lead to wildly varying crossover points. Finally, we share our take on the best “on average” global estimate of the EV-ICE CO2 crossover point.
