Good point, but big power plants are more efficient (thermal efficiency). So there is some reduction in energy emissions, just not as much. Maybe not enough to compensate for the emissions cost of new materials and mining battery materials.when you consider where that energy came from in the first place (typically fossil), they are less efficient, full stop. Unless or until we use renewables, EVs are worse for the environment, even though they have zero tailpipe emissions
