> The rest is from oil & gas plants. You mean gas plants. Gas in a powerplant produces .41 kg of CO2 per kWh[1]. A Model 3 gets 4.37 miles per kWh, so 2.81 kg of CO2 per 30 miles. Even if a Model 3 is running on a 0% renewable, 100% gas grid, the 30 mpg Mazda produces 3.12x more CO2 per mile. 5.2x more on your grid, so only a 20% increase in the distance to make up for the battery. Instead of 16k/21k miles you would have to drive 19k/25k miles. [1]: https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=74&t=11 https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=74&t=11
