For the manufacturing part, are we including the environmental impact of oil extraction in the comparison? That isn’t part of “building” an ICE car, unlike with EV batteries, but it is still required on an ongoing basis for operation and it is the direct equivalent of the EV batteries.

I find it a little hard to believe that e.g. lithium extraction is fundamentally worse than oil extraction and processing.
