It's really not, since EVs are objectively better for the environment than gas cars throughout their life cycle. And not by a tiny amount.
This is not, remotely, in dispute other than among those who ignore actual science and facts.
HOW much cleaner will depend on a number of factors, but cleaner at all is a slam dunk- even in states with 'dirty' electricity. In some places EVs will have produced less net emissions just 6 months into their initial use, and keep getting cleaner-over-lifecycle by larger amounts in the ensuing years... in other places it takes a bit longer to breakeven, but it's still within a couple years in most cases.
I'm totally not against EV's, my daily ride is an e-bike and we share a ICE Honda CRV... I just see a lot of EV owners provide a bunch of questionable what if scenarios and totally omit that the US grid is 60% fossil fuels and 21% renewables.
EVs are only good for people that can charge at home and/or work. Until Aptera comes out in a couple of years if at all.
I leased this car (limited trim) and I love the car.. I don't worry about the charge or range issues (as I charge at home when ever battery goes down to 30% with a level 2) and use it for daily commute (planning to rent a car if I drive long, Subaru just drive program gives a rental for 10days for free) and I also got 400$ charging credit with EVgo (valid for 2 years and I hardly used 10$ in last 4 months).
Overall the ride comfort is very good and comfortable interior space and seats (I didn't like the Tesla for this reason) and I am happy with the car. Even planning to buyout the car if Subaru gives me good offer at 3 years (so I can use it as a second daily commute car).
EV with city, suburban driving which is 90 to 99% of all miles driven by 90% of Americans every year is the real use and money-saver/ money-maker for an EV. People worrying about the range or long distance travel should be happy with an ICE. If you only have 1 car in the household then it should be ICE. But anything more than 1 car should be an EV.
Few things I like: rides smooth, very quiet cabin, typical Toyota build quality. For this price it's really good. I paid $299/mo for mine and I thought that was a great deal.
Just to remind everyone, this is a lease. Doesn't matter if the battery degrades, or there are a few things you don't like about the car. You drive it for 3-years then give it back. It will be hard for you to find another car that is $249/mo and doesn't have gas or maintenance expense.

Here's 3 to get you started-

It's really not, at all, a disputed point by anyone interested in honest discussion.
That said- and as the last link notes- there's plenty of viral garbage out there either using very very old data--- or simply misrepresenting the facts (for example where they include ALL the environment costs of mining and manufacturing the EV-- but none of the environmental costs of extracting, refining, and transporting gasoline to fuel the car and ONLY count tailpipe emissions.... or that REALLY hilarious one about tires, already debunked earlier in the thread)
Why would that matter?
Even if it was 100% fossil fuels it's still better to burn them at highly efficient central power plants than in inefficient gasoline combustion engines.... and the fact it's only 60% fossil (and shrinking)- and most of that 60% is NG which is cleaner than gasoline too, makes it even more so.
