Don't know about full life cycle efficiency inc. battery, recycling; but just wheel to station, very comparable. https://saxton.org/EV/efficiency.php …

from what I can tell, internal combustion engines and coal power plants both have thermal efficiency ~30%. So the Civic wins

Back of envelope: Tesla 0.75 lbs CO2 per mile, Civic 0.57 lbs per mile. Civic wins, but within inaccuracy of a quick calculation.pic.twitter.com/xSNrkhxHDY

Every dollar spent liberates carbon, directly or indirectly. Lower TCO means less CO2.
