A Method for Calculating Energy Savings and Carbon Emissions Reduction Benefits of Electric Vehicles

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper discusses the impact factors of the energy-saving and emission reduction benefits of electric vehicles. It compares the energy-saving benefits for different vehicle types. It also provides a modified method to calculate the results, so the local power companies can optimize the layout and the number of electric vehicles, improving the social benefits of electric vehicles.
