IMO the lack of fumes/exhaust is my favorite part of owning an EV. Sure there are some downsides with EVs (more expensive to buy, less range, lack of public charging infrastructure) but those don’t impact me and I’d gladly take the negatives for a car that doesn’t smell every time I park it in my garage.

There is no lack of fumes. They are somewhere else, that's all.
Coal and oil power stations have scrubbers to remove organic and sulphurous compounds from the chimney.
In most developed countries, coal and oil is a small part of power generation which continues to decline.
Even if that was true, it's still an improvement.

The resounding success of sewer systems shows that that's a huge improvement.
