This 2017 study has been used by anti-EV commentators to discredit the climate performance of EVs. Tesla’s Gigafactory in Nevada is committed to manufacturing EV batteries using 100% solar energy by the end of 2019. This is 2 to 3 times lower than the 150-200kg of CO2eq estimate measured by the same researchers in 2017.
