A 2012 comprehensive life-cycle analysis in Journal of Industrial Ecology shows that almost half the lifetime carbon-dioxide emissions from an electric car come from the energy used to produce the car, especially the battery.

When an electric car rolls off the production line, it has already been responsible for 30,000 pounds of carbon-dioxide emission.
