TL;DR: In this paper, the authors predict the cost of a battery pack in 2030 when considering two aspects: firstly a decade of research will ensure an improvement in material sciences altering a battery's chemical composition.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the usefulness of different types of life cycle assessment (LCA) studies of electrified vehicles to provide robust and relevant stakeholder information, and present synthesized conclusions based on 79 papers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the European emission regulation history up to date and make a comparison with the approach in the other important car markets globally, concluding that a substantial update of European regulatory framework concerning automotive emissions is required, while ambitious post-2021 targets should not want its automotive industry to lose its competitive position in the global market.

TL;DR: In this article, a full life cycle assessment (LCA) of different vehicle technologies has been performed and a range-based modeling system has been developed for a more robust interpretation of the LCA results for a group of vehicles.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the life cycle environmental emissions of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) with the petrol and diesel vehicles and found that the auxiliary energy consumption is responsible for nearly a third of the WTT emissions.
