Based on the current UK grid mix there are already significant benefits of the order of approximately 40% reduction; these benefits have the potential to become much greater with further decarbonisation of the UK power mix.
2.24pm: Andy Heiron, Renault UK's head of electric vehicle programme, has sent me his thoughts: Most of the environmental impact of a car comes in use and in this respect EV's already offer a significant 'well to wheel' advantage, even with the relatively 'dirty' grid mix in the UK.
Here are a few interesting observations that I thought worth highlighting here "above the line"... Dr Simon Evans: While we can expect petrol/diesel cars to become more efficient I would have though the same will be true of electric car manufacture, plus grid mix carbon intensity is going to fall through the floor if carbon targets are met - at least inthe UK.
We find that under the current US grid mix, PHEVs offer only small GHG emissions reductions compared to HEVs, and workplace charging is insignificant.
The Leaf-like car would offset those emissions in 4,900 miles of driving, and the modeled Model S would take 19,000 miles, using the average U.S. electricity grid mix as a source for charging.
According to the analysis, vehicles powered by locally produced biofuels and electricity (assuming average local grid mix for charging) consume more water than locally refined gasoline and CNG-powered vehicles.

However, understanding the environmental impact of energy storage for these grid applications is challenging due to diversity in loads, grid mixes, and energy storage systems.
The Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) has numerous complex and narrow structures, such as a spacer grid, mixing vane, and narrow channels.
When magnetrons are switched on, and high-voltage pulses are applied to the grid, mixing by high-energy gas atoms of the product and coating atoms results in appreciable improvement of adhesion and other properties of the coatings.
In energy research, temporal issues are often considered as part of scenarios, or to accommodate changes in future electricity grid mixes (e.g., Refs. [78], [79]).
The study examined the role that geography, energy performance, electricity-grid mix, building type and building lifespan have on overall environmental performance. .
