*The NEDC energy requirement for the Tesla model S with an 85 kWh battery was unattainable. The energy requirement given in the table

was based on the U.S. official government source for fuel economy information and the NEDC energy requirement for the Tesla S model

with a 60 kWh battery. U.S.85kWh = 0.236(www.fueleconomy.gov 2014) and U.S.60kWh = 0.217(www.fueleconomy.gov 2014)

1.2 Electric vehicle inventory To ensure comprehensive understanding of each of the lifecycle phases, the most complete and

detailed inventories available on EVs (Hawkins et al 2013) and Li-ion batteries (Ellingsen et al 2013;

Dewulf et al 2010) were synthesized and adapted.

1.2.1 Inventory for vehicle production, use, and end-of-life treatment

Hawkins et al (2013) present a comprehensive cradle-to-grave inventory of EVs. Their sub-

inventories for vehicle (without battery) production and end-of-life treatment were adjusted

according to vehicle weight.

As for the use phase, we considered two factors: EV energy requirement and total driving distance.

The NEDC energy requirements (ENEDC) does not take into account the losses in the battery or the

charger. The NEDC energy requirements were divided by the energy efficiency (η) of the battery

(95% (Miljøbil Grenland 2012)) and charger (96%) to establish EV energy requirement (EEV) including

losses.

𝐸𝐸𝑉 =𝐸𝑁𝐸𝐷𝐶

𝜂

Based on the energy requirement (EEV) and a total mileage of 180,000 km, the total lifetime energy

requirement of the EVs was calculated. NEDC energy requirement, EV energy requirement, and total

lifetime energy requirement for the different sized EVs are displayed in table S2.

C - medium car 155 170 30633

D - large car 169 185 33371 F - luxury car 189 207 37205

1.2.2 Inventories for battery production and end-of-life treatment

The most important modification was in relation to the number of battery cells. Higher energy

capacity required an increase in the number of battery cells. Furthermore, each cell required a nylon

cassette with aluminium heat-transfer plates. These cassettes made up much of the module

packaging, and therefore the number of battery cells influenced module packaging weight changes.

Each battery module (30 cells) had one battery management board. These were very light, and as the

number of battery management boards were the only adjustment performed on the battery

management system, there was little change in weight for this component group. The difference in

cooling system weight was mainly due to the number of radiators. Battery packaging was changed

mostly due to the size of the battery tray. Component weights are displayed in table S3.

1.3 The fossil envelope – lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of conventional

vehicles Note that the LCA results for the ICEVs only provide indicative benchmarks.

1.3.1 Production and use

From automobile manufacturers Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen, LCA results for production and use

of cars in segment A, C, D, and F were collected. Vehicle curb weight (kg), production impact (ton

CO2-eq), and use phase impact (g CO2-eq/km) were collected. For mini cars, results were gathered for

two gasoline up! models (Wolkswagen AG 2015). For medium cars, LCA results were collected for the

gasoline and diesel Golfs, the gasoline A 180 BlueEFFICIENCY, and the gasoline B 170 (Volkswagen AG

2012; Daimler AG 2012b; Daimler AG 2011). For large cars, results were collected for the diesel and

gasoline Passats, the gasoline C 250, and gasoline CLS 350 (Daimler AG 2010; Daimler AG 2015a;

Volkswagen AG 2010). For the luxury cars, only the report on the gasoline S 500 was available

(Daimler AG 2015b). To get a larger sample size of the use phase impacts, we also included use phase

emissions (g CO2/km) from the S 350 BlueTEC and the BMW 7 series (Daimler AG 2015b; BMW AG

2015). We converted these use phase emissions (g CO2/km) to use phase impacts (g CO2-eq/km) by

multiplying the emissions with a conversion factor. The conversion factor was the use phase impact

divided by the use phase emission of the S 500 and was found to be 1.2. Production intensity (ton

CO2-eq/ton vehicle) was calculated based on curb weight and production impact.

Based on the collected data, we then calculated the average weight, average production intensity,

and average use phase impact for each of the segments.

Table S 7 Calculated average weight, production intensity, and use phase impact

C - medium car 1259 4.3 149

D - large car 1528 5.6 166

F - luxury car 1852 5.7 205

The production impact of the ICEVs were calculated by multiplying the segments’ average weights by

the segments’ average production intensity. Average use phase impact was calculated by the total

mileage of 180,000 km to find the total use phase impact. .

1.3.2 End-of-life treatment impacts

Impact of EOL treatment from the ICEV inventory by Hawkins et al (2013) was scaled linearly

according to the average vehicle weights.

Figure S 1 Lifecycle impacts of conventional vehicles and green energy EV scenario. The chart on the left side displays emissions in a cumulative manner with production, use, and end-of-life (EOL) treatment. The grey shaded area, which we refer to as the fossil envelope, indicates the lifecycle GHG emission of the conventional vehicles (segments A, C, D, and F are indicated on the right of the fossil envelope). The EV results are coloured green. In the column chart on the right, the emissions are broken down in a contributional manner with battery production, vehicle production, use, and EOL treatment.
