You’re talking about the world of Lifecycle Assessment (LCA). This is a very well understood process. And over the lifetime of the car you have significantly less overall emissions. It’s like paying a big down payment to have a lower monthly. Except rather than it being similar money in the end, EVs have less. Lots of studies have been done to show this. Many countries and power sources have shown over and over again, over the standard lifespan, the emissions are significantly less.

In most cases, you become less overall after 2 years.
