How do factors like battery size, annual mileage, and electricity mix influence the environmental performance of electric vehicles?

While EV production currently emits 60-130% more greenhouse gases than combustion engine vehicle production, this is offset by significantly lower emissions during operation, especially with increasing renewable energy sources in the electricity mix. The study notes exceptions for heavy, inefficient EVs with large batteries and low annual mileage, charged solely with the current German electricity mix.
