Abstract :A benchmarking analysis on vehicle emissions has been performed in this study. Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) powered by electricity is taken into consideration in emission analysis. Calculations have been conducted for leading G20 countries in certain energy sources in electricity generation. According to the analysis, most optimal results are obtained in Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Particulate Matters (PM10 & PM2.5), Sulfur Oxides (SOx), and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions, if the vehicle is charged in France. Only Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emissions are calculated as to be the lowest values in Canada, compared to other countries. Emissions of an average SUV Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle (ICEV) powered by gasoline are also added to the comparison.
