How much CO2?
Petrol cars need a lot of electricity. in fact between 4 and 4.5 KWh per gallon produced. You cannot compare CO2 produced at the tail pipe with that of the Power station.
Oil needs to be transported, then refined and then transported again. In comparison Electricity transport is cheaper. Also we can produce Electricity without using fossil fuels not as easy to produce petrol with out affecting food production and still needing a lot of electricity.
Just compare tail pipe output. It makes things easier!
