You might have missed the production of EVs that causes more CO2 than that of diesel cars.

  Over the 20 year service life of a car, operating costs dwarf production costs.

    We were talking about emissions, not costs.

      Exactly. If car A produces 1 tons of emissions to build, and 100 tons over its life, and car B produces 2 tons of emissions to build, and 50 tons over its life, car B is the better one for the environment. (52 < 101) Looking at emissions to build as a metric by itself is disingenuous, you should look at lifetime emissions instead.
