I took a quick glance at the quoted research, none of which has been peer reviewed as far as I can tell, and the reduction of emissions during use of an EV is offset by the production which apparently uses more energy for EVs.<p>This offset is compensated for in about 100.000 km in a EU context.
A bit more than 200.000 km 'in the context of Germany’s energy mix'.<p>> Even the most gifted engineers will not be able to build internal combustion engines (ICEs) that meet the EU’s prescribed standards (unless they force their customers into soapbox cars).<p>Remarks like that make think the author is not entirely unbiased either. All in all, this reads like an op-ed paid for by an industry with a lot of vested interests in oil & coal.
