Carbon cost of Taycan production

[captainlk]

I've got a deposit down for a new Taycan Turbo which I expect to be delivered at some point in the distant future.

Since EVs generally cost more carbon to produce than non-EVs (although generally less over the lifetime of the vehicle) I'm interested in how much it would cost for me to offset my guilt by paying for carbon offsetting.

I know Volvo did a pretty good study on one of their cars which put the cost to production it at around 26 tons co2. But as far as I know Porsche haven't published any numbers around this. Any ideas how to best approximate?

I'm not sure of the details you're requesting – but Porsche does have an active program called "Porsche Impact". It seems more orientated towards their petrol/diesel fuelled cars – but perhaps you could reach out to them and ask if they have a Taycan programme ?
