Emissions would still come from the manufacturing of gasoline/diesel engine vehicles as well. The difference would be hundreds of millions of gasoline/diesel engines pouring CO, HAPs, Hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen which produce smog and acid rain, while E.Vs don't produce these pollutants.
The power needed to charge the vehicles is the main issue. But as we build more solar and wind farms among other clean energy generation, we should see improvement.
