How clean is EV battery manufacturing?

Electric Auto Association

Whereas, battery EVs fueled on average grid electricity emit 105–124 g CO2 eq./km, km, 49% lower than the CO2 production of a comparable gasoline car. UCS also reported that once the grid is fully renewable, the number for EVs is reduced to 41 g CO2 eq./km. years if the car is charged using renewable energy.
