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. However, EV battery components may be very different in the near future.
