Cumulative Emissions of CO2 for Electric and Combustion Cars: A Case Study on Specific Models "Cumulative life cycle CO2 emission calculations for both vehicles were performed for European conditions. This calculation covers the period from production to management after use, with a use phase of 10 years and an assumed traveled distance of 150,000 km. For the electric car, five variants of electricity production were considered. Calculations of the cumulative CO2 emissions were determined as the sum of the values calculated in Section 3.2.1.–3.2.5 for internal combustion and electric cars. The obtained results are shown in Figure 3 and Table 5. Table 5. List of emissions in kg-CO2 for the entire life cycle of the vehicle (150,000 km, 10 years).
