Given that fossil fuels are non-renewable (meaning that they are going to run out!), can EVs and their batteries be manufactured without fossil fuels?

Batteries for electric cars require energy to be manufactured, and in many parts of the world that energy comes from non-renewable resources such as fossil fuels. While the components of an electric car tend to consume more energy and materials during manufacturing than the components of a gas-powered car, electric cars generally have a much smaller carbon footprint over their lifetime according to the EPA. As the world moves toward a zero carbon world, factories are increasing their usage of renewable energy, so manufacturing emissions are dropping. Additionally, most vehicles use the vast majority of energy during the 10-20 years of driving the vehicles, with only a small fraction coming from manufacturing.
