Their "two most popular BEVs" used in the modelling exercises are the Nissan Leaf and the Tesla Model S85 (no P, no D)
The report also uses "EV" to include PHEVs
From cradle to grave, BEVs are cleaner. On average,BEVs representative of those sold today produce less than half the global warming emissions of comparable gasoline-powered vehicles, even when the higher emissions associated with BEV manufacturing are taken into consideration. Based on modeling of the two most popular BEVs available today and the regions where they are currently being sold, excess manufacturing emissions are offset within 6 to 16 months of average driving.
