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? UCS also reported that once the grid is fully renewable, the number for EVs is reduced to 41 g CO2 eq./km. years if the car is charged using renewable energy.
