The ‘electric cars aren’t green’ myth debunked – shrinkthatfootprint.com
From you article...
The specs are based on a full electric vehicle, similar to a Nissan Leaf, using the 2009 average fuel mix in each country. For each country vehicle manufacturing emissions are assumed to be 70g CO2e/km, based on a number of studies detailed in the report.
Of the 40 countries covered in this map emissions vary from 70g CO2e/km in hydro loving Paraguay, up to a 370g CO2e/km in heavy coal using India. The US average is 202g CO2e/km, in China it’s 258g and in Canada 115g.

The average emissions level of a new car sold in 2016 was 118.1 grams of CO2 per kilometre (g CO2/km), significantly below the 2015 target of 130 g (provisional data).
The 2015 target corresponds to a fuel consumption of around 5.6 litres per 100 km (l/100 km) of petrol or 4.9 l/100 km of diesel.
Since monitoring started under current legislation in 2010, emissions have decreased by 22 g CO2/km (16%).

And here we are in nearly 2018.
That was easy.
BTW that article you linked is from 2013 the year Ford cracked 100gr/km and beat the Nissan Leaf by 16grams
