partnering with the University of Toronto, and concluded that the breakeven point occurs at around 20,500 miles on average in the US — below this mileage, the EV expends more emissions in total, including the process of manufacturing the battery & vehicle.
“By the time we get to 200,000 miles, the lifespan of a typical car, the emissions comparison isn’t even close.
“Building and operating the RAV4 has generated 78 tons of greenhouse gases. The Model 3 has generated less than half: 36 tons.
“The Model 3 also comes out ahead in Consumer Reports’s total cost of ownership, at $49,800 to $51,000.”
“Emissions will vary based on where the Tesla is charged…We used a national average for our calculations"
