I think the poster above you is trying to say that the materials and operations involved in EV production are even worse than that of the ICE vehicles combined with the their post-manufacture emissions. As far as I understand, a completely electronic vehicle (not a hybrid) would produce no emissions of its own, compared to one with an internal combustion engine.

But I understand equally little abort both.

EV is do produce fine particles from brakes and mainly tires, but no combustion involved emissions. But it's still a great win, especially for the air quality in cities and with that, the total health impact for the population they cause.
