Default Electric vehicle manufacturing produces about 23% more emissions than the production of a gas-powered car.

Have you actually read the article pin brain?

and I quote (to save you the bother) :

They state that even though battery production emissions may be high
during production, in the long run, emissions from electric vehicles as
a whole are lower than gas-powered cars.


And I'd expect them to improve as production is scaled up and methods evolve.


OOI does that include the CO2 produced when the electricity used to
re-charge the batteries is generated ?


Finding 'gross impact' seems to be tricky. Very rarely see non-fuel
particulates discussed too.
