The figures I got in the Norwegian motoring press were just for build as far as I remember.
For me the point is that if I buy a new electric SUV and throw away the Trabant then I cause a large amount of CO2 to be emitted immediately.
If I continue to use the Trabant then it will take me many years to cause the same amount of CO2 to be emitted.
Whether the distance is 150,000 or 80,000 is not so important, both are still a lot more than my annual mileage.

@the_wub@mastodon.social @MarkHoltom@mastodonapp.uk @tbegush@mastodon.social Energy mix matters a lot for calculating the breakeven mileage (run an EV long enough and it always wins). Here are a few life cycle analysis of another (very high-speced, so don't compare with a trabant, please) vehicles from within Geely Group (to which Volvo Cars belongs): https://www.polestar.com/global/sustainability/reports/life-cycle-assessment
