Effect of Battery Electric Vehicles on Greenhouse Gas Emissions in 29 European Union Countries

This analysis explored the effect of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) on greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) in a panel twenty-nine countries from European Union (EU) 2010 to 2020. The method moments quantile regression (MM-QR) was used, and ordinary least squares with fixed effects (OLSfe) used verify robustness results. MM-QR support that all three quantiles, economic growth causes positive impact GHGs. In 50th 75th energy consumption BEVs 25th, 50th, quantiles have negative OLSfe reveals has GHGs, which contradicts results MM-QR. Energy positively impacts negatively Although EU supported more sustainable transport system, accelerating adoption still requires effective political planning achieve net-zero emissions. Thus, are an important technology reduce GHGs targets decarbonising sector. research topic can open policy discussion between industry, government, researchers, towards ensuring provide climate change mitigation pathway region.
