I’m probably going to get the exact math wrong, but statistically approaching the end of a range has a bigger impact than in the middle.
100% lower would mean zero emissions. If the car went from 50% to 25% the percentage from the starting point is 25% comparatively, but the 25% is half of 50% so it is twice as close to zero.
Going from 27% to 22% is an 18.% improvement compared to 27% (if I remember the match correctly). That pretty much means that the last 20% or so is manufacturing and maintenance of the EV and the renewable infrastructure.

Diminishing returns?
