Abstract

With the application of life cycle assessment method, according to the life cycle assessment standard, the Tesla Model 3 life cycle GHG emissions are accounted applying the CALCM and GREET in this paper obtaining the following conclusions: firstly, the GHG emissions value per unit distance of Tesla Model 3 is 376gCO2e/km, 17% higher than the average GHG emissions of B class ICEV in China, attributing mainly to the high power consumption during driving.
