Lifecycle Analysis Comparison of a Battery Electric Vehicle and a Conventional Gasoline Vehicle Kimberly Aguirre Luke Eisenhardt Christian Lim Brittany Nelson Alex Norring Peter Slowik Nancy Tu Advisor: Dr. Deepak Rajagopal Client: California Air Resources Board June 2012. 1. 1. Abstract California continues to be an environmental leader with the implementation of AB32. The California Air Resource Board (CARB) has enacted several programs to ensure the success of this groundbreaking bill. This study, in association with CARB, calculates the energy inputs and CO2 equivalents emissions of a conventional Gasoline vehicle (CV), a hybrid vehicle, and a battery electric vehicle (BEV) to determine the lifecycle environmental costs of each specific to California.
batteries, and whole cars are trucking, shipping, and rail. All methods of transportation utilize diesel fuel. The gasoline required was quantified by dividing the miles traveled by the average mileage per unit weight. This allowed us to scale everything down to the parts needed for one complete vehicle.
