The rising demand for eco-friendly transportation has accelerated the adoption of electrified powertrains. While hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) emit fewer greenhouse gases (GHGs) during usage compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs), comprehensive insights into their entire environmental footprint remain limited. In the present study, Rashid and Pagone conducted a cradle-to-grave lifecycle analysis (LCA) on a Toyota Prius XW50, both as an HEV and PHEV, using recognized lifecycle inventory databases.
