Abstract

Europe is accelerating the transition to greener transportation, with a strong emphasis on private electric vehicles (EVs). A significant share of EVs in the European market relies on Nickel Manganese-Cobalt (NMC) and Lithium-Iron-Phosphate (LFP) battery chemistry. This study aims to determine which battery chemistry composition automakers should prioritize for future EVs from an environmental perspective. While many studies analyze the life cycle of EVs, few consider the role of charging infrastructure. However, with the rise of fast-charging technology, this factor can no longer be ignored, as different charging methods impact battery performance and longevity. This study focuses on the influence of battery chemistry rather than specific charging methods, using fast-charging stations as the baseline scenario. As a result, we aim to choose the most sustainable battery technology for the future development of EVs in the European transportation sector.
