Battery powered EVs also have a greater environmental impact to manufacture than equivalent ICE vehicles, but the greater efficiency in energy conversion and the lack of emissions offsets this in less than five years of use on average. Ideally, it will continue to improve as battery technology advances as well.
Idealy we don’t need as many cars in the future. The thought of all those batteries and tires on a garbage dump in Africa and plastic parts floating in the Atlantic make me sick.
