I checked the source of the figure titled "Life-Cycle Emissions: Volkswagen EV vs. Diesel".
I may be missing something but the figure does not match any figure in the source. I feel like the maths are probably right, but the source doesn’t include the production of the ICE car and one axis is the years and not the mileage.
> The purpose of this analysis was to determine whether the replacement of an existing combustion car (that has already been manufactured; therefore, this part of the analysis does not include CO2 emissions in the production stage) with a new electric car, which has to be manufactured, therefore associated with additional CO2 emissions, would reduce cumulative CO2 emissions.
I think it’s fair to change a figure and add additional data, but maybe don’t cite it as coming from a trusted source.
