Even if an EV is 100% powered by coal power plants, it would still produce 40% less Co2 per kilometer than an ICE.

ICE are just that inefficient.

If the EV was powered by 100% solar panels, that would rise to 90% less Co2 per kilometer.

And before you start with "EVs are more polluting to produce", know that EV's still would pollute less than an ICE after about 25 000km.

Most cars easily drive 4 times that in their lifetime.
