That would be comparing two completely unrelated things.

If you want to factor in manufacturing emissions, you would have to do so for both. Unlike the manufacturing process for the battery, fuel refining is not a one time thing, but part of the emissions associated with operating the vehicle.

What about emissions required for generating electricity?
