（图片来源：摄图网） 电动车还是燃油车，哪个更污染环境? 近日，国际清洁运输委员会(ICCT)发布的最新研究表明，欧洲市场上的电动汽车在整个生命周期中的温室气 体排放量比传统燃油车低73%。且这一数据涵盖了电池生产在内的所有制造和使用环节，远超此前的普遍预 期。 报告中指出，尽管电动车在初期制造阶段，由于电池生产，碳足迹通常高于燃油车约40%，但研究显示，这 种差距在行驶约17000公里后即可被抵消。 在2025年至2044年期间，以欧盟预测电力结构运行的中型电动车，其平均碳排放约为每公里63克二氧化碳当 量;而同级别燃油车则高达每公里约235克二氧化碳当量，这其中包括尾气排放以及燃料生产和车辆制造等间 接排放。 与此同时，清华大学的研究也表明，随着中国电力清洁化及电动汽车能耗降低，中国电动汽车在行驶阶段的 二氧化碳排放已经取得并将持续实现大幅削减。 中国新能源汽车市场近年来呈现出爆发式增长的态势。根据中国汽车工业协会公布的数据，2023年我国新能 源汽车市场渗透率达到31.6%，较2022年大幅上升;2024年1-11月进一步提升至40.3%。 从细分市场产销规模来看，2024年1-11月，纯电动汽车产量超 ...
