CO2 Footprint of Ford Focus Electric Production

[windsurferk]

I took delivery of a 2013 FFE 3 weeks ago and love the vehicle so far.

I'm trying to quantify the net impact on my carbon footprint and while I'm easily able to compare the post-production carbon output vs. other ICE cars, I'm having a hard time comparing the CO2 footprint of production of the FFE compared to other ICE cars.

This article http://www.greencarcongress.com/2011/06/lowcvp-20110608.html shows an average for all EVs and all ICE cars, but I'm curious to know the actual numbers for specific car models, including the FFE.

Does anyone know how many tons of CO2 are generated in the production of a FFE?

Thanks for the links. There's definitely some great information in there, but I haven't been able to find what I was looking for. I've sent a message to Ford -- maybe someone there can answer the question. I'll post what I find out.
