I believe the rule is don't buy an electric car if you already have a car but if you're buying a new car an electric car over its lifetime will be better than getting a combustion car

Indeed, apparently I'm wrong. According to https://www.greencarcongress.com/2011/06/lowcvp-20110608.htm...

Electric cars have an expected lifetime emission of 19 tonnes C02, 5 tonnes less than a normal car.
