Manufacturing is polluting no matter what type of car it is. The point is that the biggest polluting aspect, the car's combustion system, is now taken care of. Eventually, hopefully, we'll have all-clean power grids to do away with the manufacturing issue as well. As for the pollution of the batteries; the benefit of taking fossil fuels out of the air is considerably more important, and conventional cars are going to have toxic batteries as well anyway.
