Your EV is not as Green a you seem to think when you factor in the rare metals in the battery, their extraction and the re-cycling of the batteries at end of use. Also the provision of chargers for those not having garages or specific parking spots is far from solved. Yes-- EV's make absolute sense in cities from an air quality point of view, but I do think the environmental argument is far from evident.
On the other hand, the argument for continued use of ICE vehicles frequently seems to forget the colossal environmental damage inflicted by the exploration, drilling, extraction, transport, refining and distribution of fossil fuels. I'm all in favour of maintaining a critical eye on all potentially damaging human activities, but let's ensure we maintain a consistent methodology.
The commonly-used life cycle analysis for vehicles is the "Well to Wheel" method, and using this EVs come out consistently much cleaner, about 2/3rds or less that of equivalent ICE vehicles.
Unsurprisingly, FCEVs fueled by hydrogen cracked from renewable electricity is the cleanest.
