That would be the most optimistic estimate I've ever seen - do you have a source for it?
Assuming 73kg/CO2e per kWh of EV pack[1], an 85kWh EV pack, an ICE that gets 40mpg (and thus 40 miles per 11kg CO2), grid production of 0.30kg CO2e / kWh (which is far lower than the US grid output), and 3 miles per kWh for the EV, the breakeven point is at 35,000 miles.
