Het bouwen van zo'n auto heeft dan ook niets te maken met het efficiënt gebruiken van energie en grondstoffen.
De prijs van die wagens bewijst dat.
Of denk je dat er ergens in de cyclus - idee, ontwerp, prototype, test en uiteindelijk de bouw zelf - massa's geld aan één van de vingers blijft plakken?

milieuperformance gaat vanzelfsprekend steeds naar E-cars, als er een E-car in die bepaalde klasse is.

The Standard from which the Automotive Performance Index (API) is derived is based on 45 fundamental social, environmental and economic indicators, all carefully selected by the team of analysts at the Automotive Science Group (please see below). Together, these indicators account for thousands of data points and algorithmic calculations, and years of research by the Automotive Science Group and supporting research institutions, government agencies, NGOs and international bodies alike. The Standard is a working standard, one that will evolve to incorporate additional indicators as data comes available and as manufacturers begin to fully engage to enhance the API's reach.

But now we’ve got some proof — from the Automotive Science Group no less — which places electric cars at front and centre in its 2014 Automotive Performance Index. What’s more, the ASG says that the 2014 Nissan LEAF is the car with the smallest life-cycle environmental footprint of any 2014 model year car capable of seating at least four passengers on sale in the U.S. today, beating every other plug-in and non-plug-in car in terms of the social, economic, and environmental impact it has.
Scientifically derived using complex algorithms, the 2014 Automotive Performance Index examined more than 1,300 cars on sale in the U.S. today, and looks at the environmental impact of each car from its manufacture through to its recycling, as well as its sociological and health impact in addition to more conventional benchmarks like top speed, specification and safety.
“This U.S. assembled, battery electric vehicle with an estimated 84 mile driving range is the best selling all-electric car in the world for good reason,” said the ASG in its official press release last week. “Now consumers can be confident that the increased environmental impacts of manufacturing the battery electric technology is more than offset with increased environmental performance during operational life.”
Moreover, the ASG says, even with the current U.S. electricity grid mix average — which varies state by state and region by region in its carbon footprint — owning a LEAF is environmentally beneficial, and will only get more so as the U.S. electrical grid cleans up its energy mix.
From birth to grave, the Nissan LEAF comes out top in its total life-cycle environmental impact.
