This is a normal post it's a bit like how people tend to gloss over that manufacturing just the battery for an electric car releases 18 tonnes of CO2
or basically 5 years emissions of a driving a normal petrol sedan

This is a normal post Several years ago now,
but I had one “friend” on Facebook proudly saying they had driven an electric car all the way from Sussex to Scotland.

At that time the energy mix of the UK generation capacity was approximately 40% coal. Which I reckon got them as far as Nottingham.

This is a normal post Your figure is a bit high there, chuppy
The quickest of Googling shows that you're wrong about the CO2 by about 30% and you've more than doubled the time taken to balance the CO2 cost of the WHOLE car compared to a petrol-burner.
