Hey you with the Tesla. I tell you something. Nobody will save this planet by themself.<br>However as you mentioned in the last section an EV will outperform a combustion engine over its lifetime by CO2 emissions. Most lifetime study also factor in the enviromental damage by mining and processing the necessary resources. Then the lead will shrink but an EV is still better. You also didn't mentioned the most important pro EV point: The far higher efficiency of the electric motor. Yes you need the produce the energy cleanly but over all an EV needs less energy per 100 miles than a combustion engine.
