Tesla Model Y earns five-star Green NCAP rating with lowest lifecycle emissions

📍 Drive Tesla Canada

The Tesla Model Y earned a five-star rating in Green NCAP's assessment, with an overall score of 93% and a 10/10 for greenhouse gas emissions. The rear-wheel drive (RWD) version built in Berlin recorded a lifecycle carbon footprint of 95 grams of CO2 equivalent per kilometre, the lowest figure the organization has published so far. The assessment considers raw materials, manufacturing, distribution, and operation. Tesla provided vehicle and battery manufacturing data, which Green NCAP independently verified. The Model Y also scored 8.9/10 for energy efficiency and 9.0/10 for Clean Air.…

🔎 Why it matters: Green NCAP's assessment of the Berlin-built Model Y RWD puts its lifecycle footprint at 95 gCO2e/km, the lowest figure the organization has published. The calculation includes raw materials and manufacturing, not only consumption in use.
📈 Upside: Tesla's manufacturing data was independently verified by Green NCAP, which supports the 10/10 for greenhouse gas emissions.
📉 Risk: The rating covers only the RWD version built in Germany and sold in Europe, not other variants or markets.
