Roughly half of production emissions come from carbon-intensive input materials and metals, and the other half is due to the coal-burning electricity mix of manufacturing countries like China, Korea and Japan where most batteries are made. Most of the carbon emissions from cars come from fuelling them up with gas and driving them.

Further delay means having to cut emission much more rapidly to make up for lost time. That could turn the goal of getting to net zero emissions by 2050 from merely very difficult to virtually impossible. Because cutting carbon emissions also reduces emissions of deadly particulates, delay could also cost thousands of lives.
