Electric Vehicle (EV) Studies

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) must conduct a study on the cradle-to-grave environmental impact of EVs. For more information, see the Argonne National Laboratory Cradle-to-Grave Lifecycle Analysis of U.S. Light-Duty Vehicle-Fuel Pathways: A Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Economic Assessment of Current (2020) and Future (2030-2035) Technologies report. DOE, in coordination with the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Department of Commerce, must also study the impact of forced labor in China on the EV supply chain.
