In France it would be 12 gCO2/km, but I guess that's a whole other debate.</p> <p>And if government projections for de-carbonising electricity generation are correct then the figure drops to 3 gCO2/km by 2050.</p> <p>The average CO2 emissions for a car in the UK at the moment is 208 gCO2/km according to the paper which is a lot higher than I would have guessed. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2623#post-27890 Sat, 26 Mar 2011 15:38:46 +0000 chdot 27890@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"A SCIENCE expert in the Capital has discovered just how climate-friendly the electric car really is."</p> <p><a href="http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/topstories/39I39ll-change-current-ideas-on.6740855.jp" rel="nofollow">http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/topstories/39I39ll-change-current-ideas-on.6740855.jp</a> </p>
