title = "Carbon footprint comparison of electric vehicles throughout the vehicle life-cycle",
abstract = "To achieve zero emission targets in transport electrical vehicles, the carbon emission footprint needs to be understood and used in the correct environments. This research investigated the largest carbon dioxide footprint contributors to the life-cycle stages of an electric vehicle. It highlights gaps associated with the calculation methodology used in determining the carbon footprint of an electric vehicle. The electric vehicle has been largely chosen as the technology of choice when the topic of reducing the carbon footprint due to transportation arises. This research identifies that the existing calculation methodology underestimates the carbon dioxide emissions from an electric vehicle. From the findings of the research, it can be concluded that electric vehicles are not yet green when viewed from the perspective of a third-world country.",
