    They couldn’t provide a graph showing CO2 emissions over time, including the embedded energy in making the car and the point at which a new EV starts to have a lower impact than keeping a combustion engine car running? I swear I’ve seen that kind of graph before in studies/aricles on this topic and it’s a great at-a-glance way to visualise it.

      I have seen that as well in a norwegian car magazine. Iirc it was a little under a year. 8 ish months? But ofcourse the graph would vary wildly baded on monthly km driven. And i do not remeber what km/month they used.
      A longer commute would recoup the difference much faster then a short one.
