Fig. 4: Life-cycle GHG abatement cost for BEV-SOG vs ICE-Fos vehicles in the small four-wheeler segment.
From: Battery-electric passenger vehicles will be cost-effective across Africa well before 2040
Coloured bars represent the life-cycle GHG abatement cost for BEV-SOG in the years 2025, 2030, 2040 calculated as the TCO difference (US$ per km) divided by the difference in life-cycle GHG emissions (tCO2eq per km), which ensures that the denominator remains positive in all cases. Red dots indicate the financing cost for BEV-SOG vehicles in each country in 2025. Countries are ordered top down according to the life-cycle GHG abatement cost in 2025, largest to smallest. Supplementary Figs. 24 and 25 provide life-cycle GHG abatement cost model results in all application segments and time periods, comparing both BEV-SOG and ICE-Syn with ICE-Fos vehicles.
