But you would not be moved by "less energy".
Mountains of earth are moved to find the minerals necessary to build EVs. The mining, mostly in third-world countries, is accomplished with fossil fuels. Assembly in Asia is managed with fossil fuels or electricity powered by coal (a fossil-fuel) shipped from Australia.
New coal-powered generating plants are being built there at a rate greater than one per month.
Asia has more than six times the number of coal-fired electric generating plants than the USA. (Necessary to build solar panels and EV batteries).
Let's not discuss where millions of EV batteries--depleted of energy--are to be disposed of.

These are interesting anecdotal points, not sure whether they are true or false. But I am sure that every professional objective analysis shows EVs to be WAY more environmentally friendly that gas cars.
