Yes they have a high carbon footprint at almost twice as much as that of a combustion car. But the USE of an electric car makes up the difference. Also there's No burning fuel, no co2 or other greenhouse gasses. Driving it also produces no nitrogen oxide (NOx), no carbon monoxide, no hydrocarbons, and no soot.
