Fig. 2-19 shows a comparison of the examined environmental
impacts over the individual lifecycle phases. Over the entire
lifecycle, the E 350 e charged using electricity from hydro
power has clear advantages in terms of all result parameters
shown.

If the European electricity grid mix is used for charging, there
are clear advantages with respect to global warming potential,
summer smog and eutrophication. For acidification the E 350
e remains around 17 percent above the E 350 CGI.
