In short, you have to know what you want. Decarbonize the production of electricity and there it goes through more "decarbonized" electricity (nuclear and / or renewable) but in France the potential is very limited, or really decarbonize by typing in oil and gas and there it goes through much more electricity.
This of course does not prevent reducing energy consumption (whatever its origin) individual or by type of use.
Yes, the equation is difficult and has been bothering me for some time.
I use a little less than 2 kwh of electricity.
I have x times hesitated to buy an EV.
Ladle calculation: 25 km / year at 000 liters per 6 = 100 kWh of oil consumed. With a deplorable efficiency (a car is above all a boiler on wheels). So we are going to say 15 kwh "of movement".
So I would need about 6 kwh of electricity (much better yield, but not 000% either) ...
Or a 6 kwp PV installation! [In Alsace, 1 kwc produces approximately 1 kwh per year] ...
There remains the problem of my long journeys (there, I come back from Belgium; 700 km round trip).
And for me it's fine, because I can often manage and park the car near the signs. But for example my wife, it gets tougher. We can certainly always pool, inject here, recover at work, etc ...
The equation is difficult !!!
