They are earth friendly if you don’t count the open pit mines in China and Africa being mined by child slave labor. Never mind it is cancer causing hazardous materials, but those housewives in the Starbuck lines are saving Mother Earth.

You forgot catching fire and burning your house down
..or going dead in the middle of a freeway
..or going dead in the middle of a snow storm
..or the need to replace the batteries every few years
..
Don’t forget the batteries exploding if there’s salt water contact. Remember the EVs batteries exploding when they got caught in floodwaters of the Florida hurricane a while back? They were so hot Firemen couldn’t put the flames out .
Battery replacements are around $20,000. Makes the car worthless.
Also, the wear and tear of the roads is significantly higher for EVs because they weigh so much more. And they are more dangerous in a collision because of their weight.
