EV lifecycle emissions exceed gas vehicles.

Lifecycle analysis consistently shows EVs have lower emissions than gas vehicles, especially with renewable energy mix.

While manufacturing emissions are higher, operational phase EV emissions are significantly lower, resulting in net reduction.

Some studies suggest in coal-heavy regions, initial lifecycle emissions may be comparable during early years.

EV lifecycle emissions are lower by 50-70% compared to internal combustion vehicles when averaged globally.

Current data strongly indicates EVs produce fewer emissions over lifetime, despite higher manufacturing footprint.
