The article discusses how using a detailed method called hourly-defined life cycle assessment (HD-LCA) can help understand the environmental impact of electricity supply on electric vehicles (EVs). By combining HD-LCA with smart charging, it was found that the way EVs are charged can affect their greenhouse gas emissions. This research shows that using renewable energy sources for charging EVs can reduce their environmental impact.
