How the 'rebound effect' could eat away at the green gains from electric vehicles

In Australia 's Emissions Projections 2023, transport emissions are expected to rise from 2023 under the baseline scenario, returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The rebound effect is where energy-efficiency gains, such as those from electric vehicles, can lead to an increase in overall use.

This can partially offset the expected benefits of greater efficiency.

People may adopt energy-efficient products like electric vehicles to meet societal expectations.

In the global push to combat climate change, simply reducing vehicle tailpipe emissions won't be enough. To truly minimize transport's impact, we must adopt a holistic approach that addresses the entire life cycle of vehicles—from production and use to disposal.
