Abstract

Back cover image: The electric mobility is considered to be a key step towards achieving the vision of carbon neutrality, and the high carbon footprint of electric vehicle (EV) power batteries is a critical factor affecting the ability of EV to reduce carbon emissions. In 10.1002/cnl2.81, the researchers organize the carbon accounting standards of the automotive industry and compare the lifecycle carbon emissions of various types of vehicles, pointing out the advantages of EV in reducing carbon emissions, as well as the concentration of carbon emissions in EV lifecycle. And the researchers elaborated how to reduce the lifecycle carbon emissions of EV from the automobile industry chain. Finally, focusing on power batteries, it concludes that fine management, echelon utilization, and efficient recycling are ways to reduce their contribution to the carbon emissions of EV.
