Environmental Impact of Battery/Car Production

Does anyone have any links to good peer reviewed studies/resources comparing the environment impact of an electric car to an ICE car? I'm constantly finding myself in discussions with people who insist the process of mining/building/disposing of lithium baterries is actually worse than the emissions from an ICE engine. I want to be able to refute them with facts... And yes I get that this is an apples to oranges comparison. Any resources you've found helpful would be appreciated!
