How clean is EV battery manufacturing?

Electric Auto Association

Whereas, battery EVs fueled on average grid electricity emit 105–124 g CO2 eq./km, UCS also reported that once the grid is fully renewable, the number for EVs is reduced to 41 g CO2 eq./km. A 30% decrease in grid carbon intensity would reduce emissions from the battery production chain by about 17%. km over their lifetime.
