1 Introduction
2 Materials and Methods
3 Results and Discussion
4 Conclusions
-
Electric vehicles play a fundamental role in the battle against Climate Change, since they lead to a WTW reduction until 50% compared to the traditional ICE vehicles, with small exceptions in countries heavily dependent on fossil fuels;
-
Conversely, BEVs have a generally higher impact on categories related to human health;
-
The eutrophication of the waters (marine and fresh) and of the soil is highly dependent on the energy production methods;
-
Countries with electricity produced by means of nuclear power plants have very good performance in terms of Climate Change but have major repercussions on ionizing radiation and dissipated water;
-
The WTW approach allowed to focus on the fuel impact but doesn’t consider construction, maintenance and dismantling of the vehicles.
