This dumb American talking point doesn't apply in Canada, a country with one of the cleanest grids in the world, where 80% of power generation is nuclear or hydro.
But even if it were 100% coal powered, an EV running on such a grid still has lower emissions than the average car. Would basically be on par with a hybrid.

From the same commodities that are used to make the clothes you wear, the laptop you type on and the house you live in. By the way, the car you drive has about 80% of the same materials. So if this is a huge concern, I assume you'll be giving up your car too.
But here's what those dumbass Fox News talking pointdexters don't get: most EV drivers don't care that much about the environment. If they did, they'd take the bus. They drive an EV because it's better for them. Simple as that. It's an added benefit to society, that it also cuts down to emissions.
