I certainly think a lot of EV owners have a horrible grasp on the actual environmental impact of their vehicles.  I'm one of those folks who is fortunate enough to have a Tesla - but my purchase was not on "it's saving the planet," but rather I wanted to explore the tech of it.  I drove a V8 Mustang GT for 15 years before buying my Model X used.  I can say over the lifetime I will own it (I keep cars for a long time as you can see) it will have less carbon, but that doesn't mean I'm blind to the cost of creating the batteries in the machine.  Great coverage and hopefully more people will make better informed decisions as they purchase.<br><br>Right now though, I certainly can't complain about the cost of "filling up" my Tesla compared to what it would cost in my old Mustang.  I do miss the lovely sound though.
