We compared two vehicles with similar horsepower, Tesla 3 (283 HP), and Infiniti Q50 (300 HP). The CO_2 emissions for these vehicles were:
-
for the model Tesla 3, CO_2 emissions were 161.8 gCO_2 eq/mile, including 31.8 gCO_2 eq/mile in vehicle production, 25 gCO_2 eq/mile in battery production, and 105 gCO_2 eq/mile in electricity production.
-
for the model Infiniti Q50, CO_2 emissions were 503.8 gCO_2 eq/mile , including vehicle production 40.5 gCO_2 eq/mile, fuel production 91.3 gCO_2 eq/mile, in-service combustion 372 gCO_2 eq/mile.
