All the reports I’ve seen show that, from a CO2 standpoint, an EV powered 100% by coal still produced less CO2 than gasoline even though there is additional CO2 produced during the battery production. It takes about 14K miles for an EV to reach the point in its lifetime where it is producing less CO2 overall than a gasoline car. After that, it’s all upside. EVen then most electric grids are not so dirty and include a mix of coal, oil, gas, hydro, solar and wind with the renewable percentage increasing.
