EVS are a scam, so why are they being pushed? LOVE OF $$. If there was not a lot of money in it for certain people this wouldn't be happening. Remember the guy who engineered a car engine that runs on water? There was no $$ in that, so the concept was buried.
what I'd like to see is the numbers, how much energy does it take to produce an EV and how much energy does it take to run an EV for 100,000 miles and where does that energy come from, how is it produced. From the video, he makes the point about the environmental impact resulting from mining the metals needed for the EV, but I'd like to see how much energy consumed per EV to build it, then how much energy to run it, compared to same for ICE car. One obvious gotcha for EV's is where are you getting the electricity to charge it? Is that electricity produced with renewables or is it produced from a coal burning or nat gas burning power station.
I'd like to see all these numbers, however, regarding CO2 produced, that is a moot issue because climate change is a scam. The climate is indeed changing as it always has, the scam part is the belief that humans are the cause of the change. WaPo recently posted a graph that showed global temps over the past 480 million years and we are currently much colder than all of the 480 million years. We could warm up several degrees and still be within the range of where global temps have been during the past millions of years.

Yes. All good points. FWIW, here is a Brave AI calc
"Total Running Costs:
EVs: The total running cost for 100,000 miles, including fuel and maintenance, would be around $3,500 to $7,200.
ICE Vehicles: The total running cost for 100,000 miles, including fuel and maintenance, would be around $6,800 to $11,200."
2021/22 prices? The EV us worth lttle after 4 years, ICE around half
