Research needed
Vehicles to analyze
- Electric car(s)
- Gasoline-powered car(s)
For each vehicle
- Life cycle assessment: stages
- production (materials, manufacturing)
- usage (driving, repairs, maintenance)
- disposal (scrapping, recycling, and/or putting in landfill)
- For each stage, list resources used:
- Energy
- Materials (start by quantifying each material separately, if possible)
- If data is available:
- Carbon emissions
- Other pollution
- Labor
- Lifespan
- In years
- In mileage
Insights to be gained
- Environmental impact of driving somewhere: To what extent does it go beyond just the gas in the tank?
(...)( Resources to make & dispose of a car, divided by lifespan. Also consider repairs & maintenance if possible, although those may be harder to predict. ) - In what cases is it really worth replacing gas cars with electric cars?
