This is jus half the truth, since you also need batteries in every individual vehicle (and every other battery powered thing), mining and production of which is the polar opposite of green - look up lithium and cobalt mines. So even with a 100% nuclear power grid, so as green as it can get, you still aren't fully green as you're doing a huge damage to the environment via batteries.

However, this doesn't apply to battery-free electric vehicles, which are imo the future of transportation (at least if we decide to go as green as possible) - trains, subway, trams, electric trolley-busses, electric ferries, etc.

The problem EVs are meant to tackle is greenhouse gas emissions.

Even a 10 sq mile open pit of toxic sludge isn't going to cause global ecological collapse.
