In countries with coal-intensive electricity generation, the benefits of EVs are smaller and they have similar lifetime emissions to the most efficient conventional vehicles – such as hybrid-electric…

Extinction Rebellion – Protest Banners
(English, German, Swedish)

I showed a poster about carbon emissions of a flight Stockholm-Bangkok-Stockholm (4.2 tCO2e) in the context of the average carbon emissions per person per year in Sweden (10.1 tC02e) and a sustainable amount of carbon emissions…
