Default Electric vehicle manufacturing produces about 23% more emissions than 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?


They were never viable and the hydrogen came from coal/natural gas.

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


Because that's even less viable.
