The extraction of Oil from the Soil generates CO2, the transport of the Oil to the refinery generates CO2. The transformation of Oil into petrol generates CO2, the distribution of the petrol to the gas stations generates CO2. Let use the same criteria for any type of car, this makes them comparable. BTW, I'm not pro e-car, it has as many positive as negative sides, but for some specific uses an E-car is best. Sapro,
