Our World in Data Argues the other way (https://ourworldindata.org/electric-car-sales https://ourworldindata.org/electric-car-sales) in the first paragraph. With more scientific sources (I’m not saying science is perfect, but the Guardian and Washington Post also not.) Pollution wise, I think the argument is pretty straightforward. The battery is about 200 liters. So about 200 liters plus some manufacturing costs. After this, there is a chance that the energy comes from renewable or nuclear sources. Conversely, at most 10% of the many hundreds to thousands of liters that go in a petrol car are renewable. And most people even avoid bio petrol because it’s bad for the engine. The biggest part of the oil is not renewable nor shipped to the destination via renewable transport methods. Anyone arguing that EVs are somehow more polluting in all kinds of ways, like tire pollution all of a sudden, are probably being bamboozled by the oil & gas industry.
