No doubt EV production has its pollution issues. Perhaps producing an EV causes more pollution that the pollution to both create an ICE car and drive it for years.

But us FReeper EV owners didn't buy an EV to save the planet from cow fart warmageddon or anything like that. We bought them either because EV's are fun to drive, or because our power rates are cheap. A few of us bought one because we have large solar arrays at home and want to be mostly energy independent in our local driving like we already are for our homes. My wife and I drive a lot more now that 80% of the energy we consume at home, including energy for charging the EV, is free from solar.
