Emissions are usually higher in the production phase of electric cars, but these are more than offset by lower emissions in the use phase over time. However, as the carbon intensity of the EU energy mix is projected to decrease, the life-cycle emissions of a typical electric vehicle could be cut by at least 73% by 2050.
