5.1 Summary of insights provided by LCAs of electric vehicles

Lifecycle analysis enables us to assess the strengths and weaknesses of electric vehicles, compared with other types of motorization. However, care must be taken when drawing conclusions from an LCA study comparing electric and combustion-powered vehicles: each study concerns a specific type of vehicle, and generalizing the conclusions to other types of vehicle would require adaptation.

However, some major trends can be observed:

  • In particular, LCA validates the relevance of EVs in limiting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, on condition that they use a low-carbon electricity mix, i.e. renewable or nuclear;

  • it also highlights...
