Worth noting that your CO2 emission value for gasoline powered vehicles is tailpipe emissions, the total value (well to wheels) should be very roughly 25% higher.
I don't know exactly what CO2 production your power plant number includes.

- wwtrv 5y agoThanks just wanted to make a rough approximation since a purely coal/petrol network is not realistic anyway. https://www.eia.gov/tools/glossary/index.php?id=Net%20generation https://www.eia.gov/tools/glossary/index.php?id=Net%20genera... I believe it’s electricity generated at the plant, so we should add 5-15% for transmission losses and 8-20% depending on charger efficiency. Assuming 5% transmission and 10% charging loss using the well-to-wheel figures you posted charging in a 100% coal grid should be equivalent to and around 5.7l/100km / 41mpg IC car.
- ashtonkem 5y agoIf you use the 16kWh per 100km numbers you provided perhaps. This number however is wrong. The official EPA estimate for the Model 3 is 14.88kWh, not 16kWh per 100km. Real world testing yields an even lower value of 12kWh. https://thedriven.io/2020/10/20/model-3-achieves-record-low-energy-consumption-in-driving-efficiency-test/ https://thedriven.io/2020/10/20/model-3-achieves-record-low-...
