And hypothetically the Hummer EV could go down to 0 kg, if the grid was entirely renewable. Clearly this won't happen, but that should be the goal.

Dont forget that there's a lot of embodied energy in everything too.

Even renewable capacity creates CO2 when it's made. So does the grid. So does maintaining these things. And so does drilling for oil, & shipping it around the world, processing it, and shipping it again.
