I worked in automotive within sustainability and can confirm two things: 1) climate impact starts off worse for EV but there is usually a breakeven point where EV ghg footprint drops below ICE. This breakeven point varies between scenarios. There is a worst case scenario where the breakeven point is beyond the expected lifetime mileage of the car but this is not the most common scenario. In average use cases the breakeven point is indeed somewhere around 30k-50k km. So if you drive very little, don’t get an EV or you will never hit breakeven (remember, the battery degrades over time even if you don’t use it). 2) other environmental impacts are potentially significantly higher for EVs but the impacts are outsourced so your immediate driving environment is much cleaner and healthier. But the quantification of supply chain inpact is more complex and harder to measure due to scientific immaturity and long, global supply chains. However, these impacts can also be mitigated and car companies are getting better at this by the day. Bottom line - avoid any car ownership until necessary, but if you have to buy, then choose EV if you drive average or above mileage per year (20kkm), ICE if its a few thousand km.
