<ul><li>Electric vehicles (EVs) and internal combustion engine (ICE) cars have different environmental impacts based on various factors including manufacturing, batteries, operational emissions, electricity source, and life cycle emissions.</li><li>Manufacturing processes contribute significantly to an EV's carbon footprint, with processes like mining, metal processing, and battery creation emitting more carbon compared to gas-powered cars.</li><li>EVs have zero tailpipe emissions but building battery-recycling infrastructure is crucial for reducing overall emissions in their production.</li><li>While EVs have a higher initial carbon footprint due to manufacturing, they offset this with lower operational emissions over their lifetime when powered by renewable energy sources.</li></ul>
