Data on that point? What's the comparison to new ICE production?

Right. I doubt it's actually true. An newer vehicle may get ~25% better efficiency and so a factor of 1.25 lower carbon emissions, but an electric car (which may only have a 20% price premium, if that) in a state like California (which has the most EVs) has a factor of 5 lower carbon emissions.

Carbon emissions are an entirely different issue from air pollution.
