How clean is EV battery manufacturing?

Electric Auto Association

Scientists inform us that today’s transportation sector is the largest contributor to US greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change, but how clean are lithium-ion batteries? First, it should be noted that while internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles produce 17.2% km over their lifetime.
