Carbon dioxide emissions of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles: A life-cycle analysis in eight Canadian cities

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) have the potential to decrease greenhouse gas emissions given certain power generation profiles. The adoption of PHEVs is associated with significant social, economic, environmental, and health benefits. However, most researchers in literature generally estimate emissions using national averages of emission data. The purpose of this paper is to address this gap. Specifically, we estimated CO2 emissions …
