“…Similarly, the environmental impact of transport sector electrification necessitates assumptions about the future energy mix. Electric vehicles may be carbon-free on the road, but if they derive energy from highly polluting technologies such as coal, they can increase net emissions (Elshurafa and Peerbocus 2020). Furthermore, countries that heavily rely on natural gas and expect energy demand to increase must plan and budget for additional gas exploration, storage, and/or imports (Matar and Shabaneh 2020).…”

“…A research on carbon emission of electric vehicles in Saudi Arabia simulated different scenarios of electric vehicle use, and tested carbon emissions in the best and worst scenarios of each scenario. The test results show that for every 1% of electric vehicles deployed, carbon emissions will be reduced by 0.5%, while in the best case, the deployment of 1% electric vehicles will reduce carbon emissions by 0.9% (Elshurafa et al, 2020). Choi et al (2020) measured the carbon emission intensity of various internal combustion engine vehicles and NEVs in South Korea.…”

Vehicle industry has made great contribution to human progress. However, in the process of vehicle operation, a large number of carbon compounds are emitted, which brings serious environmental problems. As one of the important means of vehicle carbon emission governance, the development of new energy vehicles(NEVs) has attracted much attention. The behavior and performance of NEV enterprises are highly concerned. Using Chinese 23 NEV vehicle enterprises' data from 2011 to 2018, this paper evaluates the carbon emission performance with the super-efficiency slacks-based measure (SE-SBM) model based on unexpected output, and then constructs STIRPAT model to analyze the influencing factors of carbon emission performance.The results indicate that, firstly, the carbon emission performance of China's NEV enterprises is not ideal at present, but it is increasing year by year. Secondly, the carbon emission performance of different NEV enterprise is distinct in the same year, and the carbon emission performance of the same NEV enterprise is distinct in different year. Thirdly, technological innovation, government support and free cash flow have significant positive impact on the carbon emission performance of NEV enterprises, while debt constraint, energy intensity and enterprise size have a significant negative impact on the carbon emission performance of NEV enterprises.

Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are widely considered a pathway to achieve low carbon mobility. BEVs emit zero emissions from the tailpipe, but their life cycle carbon reduction compared to gasoline vehicles varies based on primary energy sources, electricity generation, and use efficiency. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is an area rich in fossil fuels, meriting a detailed comparison between the emissions from BEV and other powertrains. We developed a MENA‐specific life cycle model that estimates well‐to‐wheel (WTW) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from passenger transport with internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug‐in hybrid electric vehicles, and BEVs. MENA's average WTW GHG emissions for all supply chain steps including combustion emissions from vehicle operation are 767 g/kWh and 84 g CO2eq/MJ for electricity and gasoline, respectively, but are highly variable due to heterogeneity in upstream supply chains. The use of hybrid gasoline ICEVs provides the largest emission reduction opportunity for existing vehicle fleets in 9 of the 16 MENA countries. For these nine countries, replacing gasoline ICEVs with HEVs could, on average, reduce country‐level life cycle GHG emissions by 47%. There is a similar emission reduction opportunity for 14 of the 16 MENA countries when normalizing vehicle efficiencies irrespective of the powertrain shares and other trends in existing vehicle fleets. Future scenario analysis shows that BEVs would have the lowest WTW GHG emissions among all powertrains in most MENA countries only if significantly reduced electricity transmission losses and cleaner grid mix are realized, although a high cost of infrastructure developments is expected.
