Relative to combustion engines, EVs are a significant improvement with respect to CO2 emissions. The analysis below includes emissions from production:

Find me a different, more efficient way to get across the world when my boss sends me or when I visit family, and I will choose not to fly. I have options with my car, so I take them.
