Road transportation contributes considerably to environmental concerns like the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. As the world population grows and urbanization increases, outdoor air pollution becomes another environmental concern. In this context, it is a great challenge to meet mobility needs in an ecologically sound manner. Electric vehicles (EVs) are one solution to achieve this goal depending on the electricity mix in use. To support decision makers minimizing the environmental impacts of EVs, a detailed analysis and assessment over the entire life cycle is necessary. A suited method is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This approach accounts for all relevant flows and estimates the environmental impact of a product. Calculating the LCA of an EV encompasses challenges. For example, defining the correct system boundaries particularly for the comparison with other technologies is very significant to achieve fair and comparable results. Changes made to a single component can have multiple impacts on other components of the vehicle leading to a high complexity and the necessity to handle these interdependencies. The E-Mobility Life Cycle Assessment Recommendations (eLCAr) guidelines have been developed to help the LCA practitioner to overcome these challenges when assessing the environmental impact of EVs. In order to improve the performance of EVs regarding environmental criteria, the environmental impacts must be considered during the design phase of the vehicle. Against this background, an integrated approach is presented which includes the LCA method and the eLCAr guidelines in the design phase.
