So this is like John Kerry’s private jet offsets that allow people like him to do what they do because they care.
Palmer is correct in saying….

“If you buy an electric vehicle, you’re not buying a zero-emission vehicle,” he stressed.
“It takes about 70% more carbon to build an electric vehicle than it does an internal combustion vehicle.”
In other words, an electric car is responsible for fewer emissions eventually, but not from the start.
The emissions required to build an electric car, revealed Volvo, means it could take some years of driving before any benefits kick in.

I realize you said ramping up mass production will bring greater efficiency. At this point there is an up front excess to produce BEVs and an unaccounted for end of life impact (consumer and environment)
