Not withstanding any other errors the Stuff article seem's rather biased and inaccurate regarding renewable electricity consumed by electric vehicles

For any Seven owner wishing to defend their not hugely effiicent old vehicle they can point out that manufacture of a new car is reckoned to produce 10.5 tonnes of CO2 and the recycling 1.8 tonnes. It was not clear if this figure additonal to or included in the 10.5. To run the cars the power system in Oz was reckoned to produce 170 gm CO2/km and in NZ 25 gm/km, whilst fossil vehicles 250 gm CO2/km.
I would be interested in the basis of Ian's comment.
(Nearly 20 years ago, when my 1964 car was already old, at a school camp one impudent imp passenger asked if it polluted. He suffered a 10 minute ear bashing about the pollution produced to scrap and replace it, and that it had avoided this. (I chose not to mention that it had an open crankcase vent and the rings were shot.)

This is interesting - note the last two paragraphs.

Here's the answer: Fit your modern with an electric motor and tow a diesel generator. You'll only be copying those in the USA
who charge their Tesla at Diesel-powered charging stations. I've just started on mine...

It is - and you might have! Good old Photoshop and a spare two minutes!

For those of us who live in the country and live on roads where you need to do 100 kmh ( or get abused by fellow motorist), I like this idea:

Just waiting on battery technology to get better ( with a better range) before EV is worth considering but I think we are getting there.....slowly.
