Environmental impacts of electric vehicle batteries weighed up

Abstract: 
A recent study has assessed the lifecycle environmental impact during the production of and use of phase three battery types for plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and full performance battery electric vehicles (BEV). The study indicates that newer lithium-ion (Li-ion) technologies outperform current nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries and identifies processes contributing to 13 environmental impacts.
