So any time Amazon make any noise about doing something "for the environment" you can basically just point out they are full of shit.
It probably takes a dozen electric cars to offset the carbon saving of just not going into the office.
That's a really difficult comparison to nail down and is heavily dependent on assumptions you make of the alternate reality you compare against.
Does Amazon shutdown all of their office buildings completely? Do employees still leave home and work out of shared office spaces that they prefer to home or the Amazon campus? How do you factor in things like HVAC costs for individual home offices versus a main campus building? For electric cars as the unit of measure, are they new? How do you account for production costs? What power source is charging the cars?
