The break-even point with an ICE vehicle is as little as one year.

At 124,000 miles (200,000 km), the iX3 should have a lifetime carbon footprint of 23 tons (or 14.6 tons exclusively using renewable energy); by contrast, a conventionally powered BMW X3 crossover would have a footprint of 52.8 tons.

Great article. The contrast between this great effort and what china is doing by expanding coal plants and the US with Trump’s anti climate change agenda is astounding. Thanks for sharing
