under
The original EPA certification test
procedures from the 1970s were developed
to regulate criteria pollutants exhausted
from vehicle tailpipes and fuel economy of
internal combustion engines. At the time,
this made sense-liquid-fueled internal
combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs)
dominated the market, there were very few
battery electric vehicles (BEVs) available,
and CO2
was not yet regulated as a
greenhouse gas (GHG). Fast forward to
today, and we still regulate based on the
tailpipe alone. But this once-logical
methodology no longer adds up. BEVs
don't have tailpipes, and as a result, they
erroneously register as zero CO2
under
6 April 2022
today's regulations. (Please refer to an
article I wrote in the August 2021 issue of
Update).
Classifying BEVs as " zero emission
vehicles " is simply not correct when you
consider the entire system, which includes
electrical power generation and
distribution. All the elements of lifecycle
analysis (LCA), as shown on page 7, must
be considered to fairly compare the CO2
emissions of BEVs to ICEVs or even
hybrids. After all, the planet doesn't care
where the CO2
comes from; it only cares
that it's in the atmosphere. Therefore, the
essential question our regulations should
address is this: What is the total CO2
