Traditional carbon emission accounting for new energy vehicle (NEV) charging and swapping infrastructure often focuses on vehicle operation while neglecting temporal load variations and renewable energy integration. This study proposes a carbon credit system to drive the green transformation of the NEV industry by developing a precise carbon emission accounting method and effective incentives. An emission reduction model was constructed for private vehicles and public charging/swapping stations, considering seasonal power load changes and renewable energy characteristics. Dynamic grid carbon emission factors and renewable energy yield curves are applied for accurate calculations while using real-world charging data. Private vehicle reductions were benchmarked against traditional fuel vehicles, while public stations analyzed carbon differences based on peak-valley electricity use. Results show the system can reduce 299,000 tons of CO₂ in 2023, boost renewable energy consumption by 160,000 kW per 5% load increase, and cut peak grid demand by 10%-equivalent to a 330,000 kW gap or the output of a 300,000 kW supercritical plant. The carbon credit system effectively lowers transportation emissions, alleviates grid pressure, and fosters coordinated, green development of NEVs and power systems.
