If you’re wondering how much energy the EV on the right saves compared to a typical Ford F-150, the answer may not surprise you.
If you’re wondering how much energy the EV on the right saves compared to a typical Ford F-150, the answer may not surprise you.
it appears the F-150 emits 370 grams of CO2 per mile driven.
a Cybertruck uses .5 kwh per mile, and so if it’s getting charged by a supercritical coal plant, about 400g CO2 per mile. this isn’t counting transmission losses, since it also takes energy to get gas to the pump.
factoring in upstream CO2, the f-150 is 464g, the Cybertruck is 444g with transmission losses. CO2 from mine to power plant/kg of coal/kwh is a metric i’m not prepared to calculate right now.
is that tail pipe only or is it including all the fuel infrastructure and construction emissions too?
