Sorry to ruin your guilt free parade, but don’t forget that your charging is still producing emissions - just from a distance.

Congrats on the EV though. I really want one, but it’s just not practical for the 400+ mile trips we regularly need to make throughout the year.

Nonzero for sure. But regenerative breaking plus fairly green energy (lotta hydro) is a whole different ball game than 100% gas.
