The average car purchased in 2023 emits higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than its 2013 equivalent. This is due to the large proportion of SUVs in the mix, which tend to be bigger and heavier.(english.elpais.com)

I guess your main emission would be tire rubber then, alongside whatever is used to generate the power stored in your car (unless that’s also renewables).

You’re doing good. Or well. Or both?
