oonday to all, does anyone know a software that allows the estimation of greenhouse gas emissions of an electric vehicle, known the driving cycle? a little program that can simulate behavior? Thank you.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean.
an electric vehicle, in itself, has no appreciable emissions, if gases are excluded from the possible overheating of the friction materials of the brakes, but we are at practically "molecular" levels.
other thing is if you mean the amount of greenhouse gases emitted to produce the electricity that serves to charge the batteries.
here the problem is not so much in the vehicle, but in the process of generation of electricity and in the dispersions due to the transport network, to the transformation for the recharge and to the possible precaution in static batteries.
In this case, first of all, we need to know what is the primary source of energy used for electric generation and from here we make the due reasoning and calculations.
other thing is if you want to know how much the total emissions of the vehicle life cycle amount, including those due to the manufacture, use and maintenance and final disposal of the various parts that make it.
In short, what is used as "total energy balance".
In that case, the thing is "sick". . .

Sorry, I assumed I meant "tank-to-wheel" emissions, and not the vehicle itself, which, as you said, has zero emissions. I should build a program to assess how greenhouse gas emissions vary by vehicle type, but emissions from shaft to wheels; )

from the well to the wheel is "well-to-wheel" and is strictly dependent on the energy mix of electricity production of the country (if you do the national average) or the location' or even of the single house (if you integrate the electric vehicle in a photovoltaic system)
