How clean is EV battery manufacturing?

Electric Auto Association

First, it should be noted that while internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles produce 17.2% of burned gasoline into energy to turn the wheels, electric vehicles (EVs) use 59-62% of the electrical energy from the battery to do the same. Whereas, battery EVs fueled on average grid electricity emit 105–124 g CO2 eq./km,
