I think I'd agree with the original post's point.

Of course, you can't really compare an ICE vehicle to an EV when we're actually talking about a PHEV...the CO2 emissions for production would be notably increased if you're plugging in an electric motor and 16KWH of battery...it would take an EV considerably less time to overtake - or get under - the PHEV in CO2 emissions.
