Let's put paid to the bullshit. EVs are producing fewer emissions over the life of the vehicle than cars equipped with internal combustion engines, full fucking stop. This is true no matter what form of electrical generation provides the power, though it is more beneficial if the power source is also green. Coupled with the strides being made in recycling the rare earth components of the batteries, EVs keep looking better and better. As more power production switches to cleaner technologies, and more rare earth materials are recycled, total emissions will fall even further.
EVs are not a silver bullet to defeat global warming, especially while they remain too pricey for Joe Average. But, no one technology will do that by itself. Claiming they're worse for the environment is ignorant at best, intellectually dishonest at worst. And, shitting on a better alternative in favor of waiting for some mythical 'perfect' alternative is just plain stupid. We should embrace any technology the reduces greenhouse gasses by even a tiny amount. Take the base hits and the runs will come. Count on the home runs, and you'll lose a lot of ball games. This isn't as game humanity can afford to lose.
