Abstract Electric vehicle fleets have the potential to decrease transportation related greenhouse gas emissions. However, the technology shift towards electric mobility can be linked to environmental trade-offs that need to be addressed adequately in order to ensure environmental advantages. This chapter presents the evaluation of the environmental impacts of two exemplary electric vehicle fleets in the project Fleets Go Green. The evaluation focuses mainly on the use stage and explores different influencing factors such as electricity mix, ambient temperature and driving patterns.
