Does that third also take into account any differences in manufacturing them? In other words, the entire lifecycle.
That's the best figure I've seen for the total lifetime impact.
It depends on a like for like comparison. A really massive and inefficient EV will not stack up so well against a small efficient ICE, for example.
There's just too much variation for any one figure to be both simple and accurate
