Its time to parse the most important factors in a cars carbon footprint and discover if an EV or an internal combustion engine (ICE) is better for the planet. Manufacturing Manufacturing emissions are a factor for all cars Most of an EVs carbon footprint comes from manufacturing processes , before the vehicle ever reaches the customer.
