The carbon footprint from materials production (including the Li-ion battery modules) of the ICE is carbon footprint from materials production (including the Li-ion battery modules) of the ICE is roughly 40% less than for Polestar 2. Looking at the category “Materials production” the five main contributors for the XC40 ICE are aluminium 34%, steel and iron 34%, electronics 13%, polymers 11% and fluids and undefined 4% #
For Polestar 2 the main contributors to the carbon footprint of the material production (including Li-ion battery modules) are aluminium 29%, Li-ion battery modules 29%, steel and iron 17%, electronics 10%, and polymers 7%#
Total use phase GHG emissions from the Polestar 2 vary greatly depending on the carbon intensity of the electricity used. The total of GHG emissions, depending on kilometres driven, from Polestar 2(with different electricity mixes in the use phase) are illustrated in the LCA.#
