You don't provide any evidence to refute OP, and you use vitriol in your reply.
EV cars use more rare elements that require more mining is true. So one would assume that the initial CO2 generated in the productions to be higher.
The grid isn't 100% renewable so there is plenty of co2 produced in running an EV.
EV batteries wear out around 100000 miles, requiring a costly(both $$ and CO2 production) replacement. Meanwhile ICE cars today can regularly approach 200000 miles before replacement.
With those three things considered, I highly doubt that CO2 production is impacted all that strongly by switching to an EV.
