Electric mobility will change the car as we know it, the way it is used and the way it is manufactured. The emerging electric mobility further increases the necessity for life cycle management. The massive implications of electric mobility not only on the automotive industry but also on its supply chain, the customers, energy market and the recycling industry require a detailed and well-structured management instrument. The life cycle assessment methodology is used as a starting point to master the complex challenges in the field of electric mobility. This detailed holistic environmental stocktaking on electric mobility gives a detailed status-quo analysis. Challenges and opportunities associated with the electric car become apparent and therefore manageable. Future areas of activity can therefore be derived and justified.
