    You have to make wayyyyy too many assumptions for this to be a useful comparison.

    There’s a lot of people who live in places with electricity generated mostly or entirely through renewables for instance.

      I’m assuming (ha!) that like the rest, this is an estimated average. Of course every person and car will vary, it’s not like it’d make sense to break out every car, every factory and their individual emission costs, etc either.

        It’s based on a use phase of 16 years and a distance of 240,000 km. That’s a pretty conservative estimate of ~9300 mi/year.
