That report from you Harry is utter Biased and skewed rubbish nothing legit just assumptions made by one sad redneck perhaps on the big oil payroll and trying to reach out to other rednecks as yourself. Its data is assumptions based from the propaganda kings of the world the UK government. The UK has heavy interest in Oil its one of the colonial leaders in dirty energy I guess that what you call credible then you have nothing to stand on but your lack of logic trusting the authorities that screw us deeper into a bunch of nanny states filled with zombies that trust the media for their substance in security and total existence.
"In this section we estimate the total emissions caused by using a grid powered electric car in 20 of the world’s leading countries. For clarity we focus only on full electric vehicles and use national average grid emissions. As such these results may not be representative of individual grids within a country. The key assumptions used in this section are that an electric vehicle has manufacturing emissions of 70 g CO2 e/km over its lifetime, and that its wall - to - wheels energy use is 211 Wh/km, or 34 kWh/100 miles, similar to a Nissan Leaf
. Data for international electricity emissions factors is for 2009, and sourced from DEFRA in the UK (DEFRA 2012)."
Like I said utter zombie redneck rubbish few can trust DEFRA a Banker controlled farce much like the Royal Family since the days of Napoleon defeat at Waterloo when Rothchilds took over the Bank of England and control of the Brittish Isles.
