The problem here I think is that you miss the original point of the top-level parent. They weren't claiming that EVs emit more CO2 from driving, but from _manufacturing_.
Whether or not this claim is true I can't say for sure, because nobody on either side of this discussion in this thread has provided links/proof to back up/refute these claims, so it's just a bunch of people throwing numbers at each other with no context.
