You are correct that EVs aren't 100% environmentally friendly, but they're far better than driving an ICE vehicle, which is the point that most people are trying to make. On the other hand, opposition to EV adoption tends to either assume that EVs are somehow worse than ICE vehicles, or that because EVs are not 100% environmentally friendly that they shouldn't be used at all.

I think people in general have a pretty good understanding that the benefits of EV cars depend on the source of their power generation, and that the promise of EVs depends on pushing for more generation by renewables. Also the flip side, that regardless of what happens with primary power generation, none of it matters unless we are all or mostly driving EVs.
