Emissions

The CO2 output of an adult human is around 1500 grams a day. The mindset’s is zero – at least locally. But let’s be typically, pragmatically Swiss about this: electricity has, of course, to be generated and transported. That doesn’t just use up energy – it also produces emissions. Taken in total, the best-case output of the mindset – where electricity is generated by hydroelectric power – is of the order of one gram. If you take the UTCE figure – an average value for electricity produced across Europe from various sources – then the mindset’s output is only 55 grams. With the Range Extender hooked up, this value is still only 70 grams – a record low value for a vehicle of its size and power output. And when the solar collector is used, it’s as clear as day that the emissions drop to zero.
