For EVs, much of the environmental burden centers on the production of batteries, the most energy- and resource-intensive component of the vehicle. Manufacturing an EV battery using coal-based electricity results in more than three times the greenhouse-gas emissions of manufacturing a battery with electricity from renewable sources.
