Are electric cars more environmentally friendly than internal combustion vehicles?

This article discusses a new study of the real impact of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) compared to internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs), in terms of both total cost of ownership (net of public subsidies) and environmental impact. “Do BEVs truly offer an environmental advantage – and if so, at what cost?” questions report authors at Arthur D. Little. The study analyzes the impact of new BEVs and ICEVs in the US, and projects the economic and environmental effects over the assumed 20-year lifetime of a US passenger vehicle.
