The paper proposes a carbon taxation scheme using LCA for clean energy vehicles (CEVs). This taxation scheme can enable to be discussed tax amount, tax revenue and total CO_2 emissions by changing the scenarios and parameters, such as: technology development, energy price and total driving distance. The authors figure out the tax rate 28.05[JPY/kg-CO_2], which makes the hybrid electric vehicle's life cycle cost less than that of conventional gasoline vehicles. The simulation results show that the LCC after taxation of EVs have lowest total cost when battery cost is 0.28 times the 2007 cost, when 90% of 2010 weight level, or when driven more than 151,000 km. In addition, it is expected that elders who drive shorter distances are best suited for HEVs and GVs not EVs considering LCCO_2. The proposed tax system can provide consumers with an incentive to choose vehicles with lower CO_2 emissions.
