Against the background of dwindling resources and increasing emission regulations powertrain electrification seems to be the future for individual mobility. In this context lightweight design is a promising enabler to reduce energy consumption in the operating phase. Considering higher efforts within production and recycling for lightweight solutions this paper aims to conduct a life cycle assessment for the operating phase of electric vehicles to evaluate the ecological advantages of a lightweight car body in comparison to a conventional steel concept. At this, the outperformance of the lightweight concept extremely depends on the chosen use pattern and mix of charging current.
