A UC Berkeley monitoring network recorded a small yearly decrease in CO2 emissions that they ascribe to the adoption of electric vehicles.

these of course come with their own tradeoffs, but you take what you can get

Even in areas that use coal you use less overall emissions within the lifetime of the vehicle

  No, my question was, how much of the 2-3% yearly reduction as claimed is just shifting the emission to elsewhere?
