I think you're missing the fact that a huge chunk of a vehicle's lifetime emissions are just in the manufacturing alone. And EVs are much more energy intensive to manufacture. Mostly this is due to the batteries. Which also have to be replaced every decade
Because of this alone, there are many EVs that are still worse for the environment than many gas-powered vehicles
38%[0] of an EVs emissions are in the manufacturing alone. Ultimately, the best thing you can do for the environment is still to STOP BUYING NEW CARS
