I didn't. That's the number without externalized CO2 costs. With those it's closer to 0.48 kg/kWh which comes out at 10kg CO2 per 100km.
As I said above, I am not trying to argue against EVs. It's mostly that the German energy mix sucks.
(We switched of all our nuclear plants some time ago and now rely on coal again ...)

What’s fun about that number is that those 6 kWh would drive an EV about 18 miles. So, unless you have a reasonably efficient gas car, even if you never burned any of the gas you buy, and used it to fill swimming pools or something, you only come out even with an EV.
