No, I don't think mfg'ing is anywhere close to dirty enough to offset how bad 8mpg is for any reasonable mileage.
I've seen links for 500 gallons gasoline for car production, let's say safely 1,000 for an EV.
8mpg at 12k miles/year is 1,500 gallons, and over 30 years, 45k gallons of gasoline.
An EV will be produced at 1k and then for the foreseeable future be charged with excess solar energy during the day mostly. That doesn't seem close.
