Where you getting that from? Engineering explained I think calculated getting an EV is better CO2 wise after about 2 years with US average power generation. It’ll take longer than that to break even though if you have a dirty grid, or you get an EV with an enormous battery.
I’m not sure where my wife read it (she’s a phd in experimental physics with ecology training, and is thus no slouch + a realist) so I’d be surprised if it wasn’t from actual research articles in journals, and not a youtube video, but I’ll ask her
