I’m commenting on your first sentence, not the bullet points.
Electric cars are better for the environment, no doubt about that, even if the electricity is produced by fossil fuel, because the production is done in a controlled environment instead of happening in thousands of cars, which can only utilise a fraction of the energy and outputs the exhaustion directly in the air.
I’m not saying EVs solve the car dependency problems at all, but they are better for the environment than combustion engine cars.
Well but my first sentence does not contradict yours. I know that, from a carbon emissions point of view EV are better than ICE vehicles, by far. What I stated is that even if they are better, replacing all ICE cars with EV is not sufficient to have a reduction in carbon emision as needed for the environment. And there are studies that say so

No, obviously not. I’ve never heard anyone seriously claim that electric cars alone could save the environment.
Transport as a whole only accounts for something like 20% of carbon emissions and only 40% of that is from cars, making it 8% total.
