They also lied about C02 emissions. My country manufactures 30% of electricity from coal. That is hardly zero emissions!

Even if it was 100% produced from coal, an EV still pollutes less because emissions are easier to reduce at a plant than in a vehicle.

And petrol engines are very inefficient at 35% efficiency.

Coal Plants are even less

It's “CO2” (or “CO₂”, to get fancy), not “C02”. (Oh, not zero.)
