That's cited as 1 ton of CO2 emissions: > Just how much is one ton of CO2? As much as a typical gas-powered car emits in about 2,500 miles of driving 2.4 - 16 tons in manufacture of a 80 kWh battery = 6000-40000 miles. That's not accounting for the GHG's emitted in generation of the electricity, which if it's coal based takes longer to claw back (and there's probably a million other things to take into consideration, weight increase is often one). Not to shit on EV's. I think they are the future and will be a great improvement, especially in cities, but there is a non FUD manufacturing cost that needs to be worked off.
