The EPA (https://www.epa.gov/energy/greenhouse-gases-equivalencies-calculator-calculations-and-references <https://www.epa.gov/energy/greenhouse-gases-equivalencies-calculator-calculations-and-references>) calculates 4.73 metric tons CO2/vehicle/year for a passenger car, so 47.3 over 10 years due to it’s operation vs their number of 37.4; a difference of 10 tons. Manufacture is probably a lost leader since the amounts of CO2 would be roughly equivalent and variable in any event. I also question the equivalence of the carbon markets as that more or less just shifts carbon production from one place to another and does not directly reduce it.
Was this published in any public media? The reference is to their web site and so it’s just an opportunity piece looking for an outlet.
