I doubt there's a single ICE car on the market that creates as much CO2 to make as it does to run.
The additional CO2 for making an EV is on the order of 5-10x lower than the CO2 it can save (when running on renewable power). Even making a new EV on the order of operating an existing ICE car for ~50k-ish miles.
