You forgot about the material extraction and carbon emissions for manufaturing a new electric car. Can someone link the data for it please?
Edit: The article in below reply says it best. Lithium extraction and manufaturing emissions for electric cars are bad for the environment but still dozens of times better than ICE cars lifecycle emissions
- You can't simply go with the manufacturing emissions, you have to look at the entire life cycle of the vehicles in question.
- It heavily depends on the battery technology used in that particular vehicle and the economy of scale. The emissions reduce as the build batches increase
