12 to 30 tons of Carbon upfront to build a new EV car=9390 miles at 20 mpg

 To offset 12 tons of carbon, the required driving time varies significantly, but assuming a typical EV reduces emissions by about 3.6 tons of CO2 per year compared to a gasoline car, you would need to drive approximately 3.3 to 3.4 years to offset 12 tons of carbon, though this figure is a general estimate and depends on the specific EV, driving habits, and electricity source

9000 miles of driving based on 20 mpg: 

The total grams of CO2 are divided by the CO2 emissions per gallon to find the total gallons of gasoline consumed.
