Proof Engine Verification: Electric vehicles have a larger lifetime carbon footprint than gasoline cars when manufacturing and battery disposal are included.

Verdict: DISPROVED (with unverified citations) - **Every major lifecycle analysis reviewed concludes EVs have significantly lower lifetime emissions than gasoline cars**, even when including manufacturing and battery disposal — the opposite of what the claim asserts. - EVs produce **60-69% lower lifetime greenhouse gas emissions** than gasoline cars in the United States, and 66-69% lower in Europe (ICCT global lifecycle analysis). - While EV manufacturing creates **40-80% more emissions** than gasoline car manufacturing (due to battery produ
