The bigger the battery, the more CO2 is required to produce that EV vehicule. Shhh...Don't tell anybody about this or you will make all the virtue signalling drivers very upset.
Would you have any data that compares apples to apples? Manufacturing the batteries is a carbon emitting process and then there is the matter of generating the electricity. I'm asking about data from the start of the manufacturing process through to end of life. Here's what is clear: the ice vehicle is less carbon intensive to manufacture because it doesn't have the giant battery and when you measure carbon at the tailpipe, you don't capture the electricity's carbon for the driven number of miles. Include that data, draw two lines on a graph, and you'll have an answer.
So if you are saying that an EV emits far less carbon, have you seen an actual apples to apples comparison? Just curious. If you have, please post a link
