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. Production causes more emissions than combustion engine models, an EV beginning life with a heavy "emissions debt.” years if the car is charged using renewable energy.
