How much emissions do electric cars produce?

Around 9% of life cycle emissions come from making the vehicles themselves. In contrast, while all-electric vehicles produce less than half as much life cycle emissions, about 35% of total greenhouse gas emissions for all-electric vehicles are from either the battery manufacturing process or the manufacturing of the cars.
