Careful with blanket statements like this. Not all EV'ers think the same.

However, I recently spent time with the president of the local EV club, and it was as if NOTHING else mattered other than making sure every single person has an EV parked in the driveway. I was rather put off by it.

I read somewhere that an EV in India pollutes six times as much as a gasoline equivalent, thanks to a very dirty electrical grid. I'm sure it's not that bad in coal heavy parts of the US, but it certainly isn't good.
