Predictive modeling of battery degradation and greenhouse gas emissions from U.S. state-level electric vehicle operation

The effects of battery degradation on the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from electric vehicles are unknown. Here the authors show that the lifetime of a typical battery is between 5.2 and 13.3 years across the U.S., with an 11.5–16.2% increase in energy consumption and CO2 emission...
