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

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.

As an aside to that, what happened to hydrogen / fuel-cell cars?

Now we have all this spare electricity (to charge EV's g) why
couldn't we use it to electrolyse seawater instead?

I thought it was down to how practical it was to make hydrogen in quantity
at local 'fuel station'
It;s quite a bit of intrastruction for a garage to have enough capacity to my hydrogen on the spot.
And then storing it safely.
