What car should I drive - EV or ICE?

It goes without saying that CO2, NOx and other pollutants are non-existent when you drive an EV, but what about the production of the car itself? If we look at the overall GHG emissions (CO2) in a vehicle’s lifecycle (the carbon footprint), an EV still emits far less GHG (and other emissions) than an ICE vehicle. It has to be taken into account that the carbon footprint of the production of an EV is larger than an equivalent ICE car because the batteries are still very resource-heavy to produce. But if all phases of a vehicles’ life cycle are considered; manufacturing, driving and recycling an EV will result in a lower carbon footprint, compared to an ICE vehicle. LINK
