Where I live we mostly only have public coal electricity still tons of Teslas around here so yes all the electric cars I see throughout my life are worse polluters and for some reason they all want to drag race me in my BMW because they think their cars are faster (they're not)

Did you actually do the math on efficiencies?

You can select your state here to see https://afdc.energy.gov/vehicles/electric_emissions.html

Remember your bmw doesn’t have regen braking.

Apparently Evs are even better in Kentucky, although hybrids are better. But also once the energy mix shifts, because it will not be coal forever even in ky, the pure ice will become even worse. I.e your bmw.
