Ridgewood NJ, electric vehicle skeptics have frequently argued that the manufacturing and disposal of battery-electric vehicles like Teslas as well as reliance on coal to generate the electricity that powers them leaves EVs with a larger carbon footprint than nonelectric vehicles. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of studies that have tried to approve or disapprove this notion. But finally, the Manhattan Institute has compiled a comprehensive report ( https://manhattan.institute/article/electric-vehicles-for-everyone-the-impossible-dream ) that compares lifetime greenhouse gas emissions of EVs vs. ICEs by looking at dozens of parameters and data points.
