People often point at the manufacturing pollution and carbon output of making electric cars but the stats show that even so, the overall output of an electric car leads to half the carbon output into the atmosphere of a gas-driven one. YET...we shouldn't let EV makers off the hook. *If they are  motivated to,* they can revamp battery making etc to be non polluting. The tech exists for it. But no one insists on their working it up.  EV manufacturing that pollutes is only half invented.
