EVs CO2 emmissions depends of the carbon intensity of electricity consumed. So that is true that Germany with now 323gCO₂eq/kWh has a higher break even. But if you take the same data for exemple in France where electricity is much less carbon intensive, (now 32gCO₂eq/kWh), break even is as low as 15000km for an EV. Germany should just emit less carbon for electricity generation.
