Lightweighting electric vehicles: Scoping review of life cycle assessments
Abstract
In this article, we discuss our comprehensive scoping review of the existing literature on “lightweighting” of electric vehicles from a life cycle assessment perspective. Lightweighting – a concept also applied to internal combustion vehicles – aims to improve the energy efficiency of the vehicle by reducing vehicle mass.
