Yes. There is a lot of information on the manufacturing cost of EVs in terms of environmental footprints. One thing we know for sure is that mining resources from dead cars is far less resource intensive than mining resources from traditional resource extraction.
And you have to keep in mind that the carbon footprint of a traditional car is very well understood, and it is enormous. An efficient mid-size car will consume something like 12x its weight in gasoline, and harvesting that gasoline also has a carbon footprint.
