The CO2 emissions from the BEVs were compared to the CO2 emissions for their ICE-based counterparts.

Going all-in today or fully dismissing the market for BEVs are both dangerous strategies.

At 10% growth, the market for BEVs would be about 574, 000 vehicles in 2032.

This study selected four ICE-based vehicles, and modeled BEVs based on the specifications of each of these vehicles.

The modeled BEVs were run through a simulation to determine their energy consumption.

While fleets with compatible driving routes and some consumers are more than happy with their BEVs today, other uses stretch the vehicles beyond their limitations.

It seems clear that BEVs are in our future.

Amongst the results, it was shown that for China and India, and other countries with a similarly high CO2 intensity, unless power generation becomes dramatically less CO2 intensive, BEVs will not be able to deliver a meaningful decrease in CO2 emissions and an increase in the penetration of BEVs could actually lead to higher CO2 emissions.
