The study compares 35 different vehicle-powertrain combinations—including internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs), hybrids (HEVs), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), and battery electric vehicles (BEVs)—spanning vehicle classes such as sedans, SUVs, and pickup trucks. Importantly, this analysis incorporates emissions from manufacturing, operation, and end-of-life disposal, providing a comprehensive view of each vehicle type’s environmental footprint. However, fully electric pickups produce 75% fewer emissions compared to their gasoline counterparts. But for tradespeople and others who need utility vehicles, BEV pickups still offer significantly lower emissions even under heavy loads. Electric pickup: ~75% lower; still dramatically cleaner when loaded.
