Are electric cars really bad for the environment?

A report by the Technical University of Munich challenges the EU's classification of battery-electric vehicles as climate-neutral by arguing that life-cycle emissions, including manufacturing and electricity sources, must be fully accounted for; however, other studies find EVs produce significantly fewer emissions overall compared to combustion vehicles. Battery production remains an environmental challenge, but innovations like lithium-iron phosphate batteries and local manufacturing are reducing emissions.
