This study investigates the energy consumption of electric vehicles (EVs) in real-world driving conditions, using in-vehicle sensor data and location tracking. The energy consumption of EVs is compared to that of an internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEV) under similar driving tests. Furthermore, an energy-centric life cycle assessment was conducted to assess the environmental impact of the transition to electrified transportation by reporting the carbon emissions of the EVs and ICEV. Since a large volume of driving data was acquired in the experiment, machine learning (ML) techniques are employed to interpret the obtained data and identify a key feature. ML algorithms can help develop predictive models that estimate energy consumption and explain the major factors that impact such consumption. The findings also offer valuable insights into energy consumption, emission, and the underlying factors that can inform policy discussion related to transport electrification and enhance energy efficiency. This research is significant in comprehending the potential of current EVs and their superiority over traditional vehicles. It is vital to facilitate the shift toward electric transportation, which can be driven by the results.
