Where in the study did it cite 8.2 years as a break even point?

By comparing to a gas car, you would need to calculate the CO2 cost of manufacturing an internal combustion engine, fuel pump, transmission, catalytic converter, etc

I think the headline you posted is quite misleading.

also the CO2 cost of extracting and refining the oil for the gas
