EV Life Cycle Assessment Calculator

Explore and compare the lifecycle emissions of conventional and electric cars and the effect of changing variables such as vehicle size. This tool allows you to select and change the most important characteristics for conventional (internal combustion engine), plug-in hybrid and electric cars in selected world regions and countries. For all the vehicles, you can select the size, annual driving distance and lifetime. By clicking through the tabs below, you will be able to set powertrain-specific assumptions, such as the battery size, as well as adjusting assumptions about energy supply, such as the emissions intensity of electricity production, or the vehicle fuel consumption. 

The tool uses assumptions for the other inputs needed, consistent with IEA modelling.

The tool is accessible through the dedicated website: https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/data-tools/ev-life-cycle-assessment-calculator
