“All other things being identical” is doing a LOT of heavy lifting there.

The “cradle to grave” calculations for ICE vs EV (ie, inc manufacture & decommission) are quite stark: even without assuming green electricity EVs have—-at most—-only 32% of their ICE counterparts emissions.

Now 1/3rd doesn’t sound that great, but remember: that’s a worst case scenario for EVs and doesn’t include the long term recycling benefits either.

Not least: 2/3rds less car emissions would be a game changer for air quality & the climate.
