That is an interesting take on the subject but you are commiting the part to whole falicy in your logic which makes the argument actually incorrect. I will give you an example that will show you how much better an electric car is.
Imagine if we all had diesel generators outside of our houses to make our power. Could you imagine the smell, noise, and associated problems?
Well that is exactly the problem with gas cars. It is inefficient on the whole to be MAKING power as we go, we should simply be consuming it and allowing it to be made in a central plant.
Your argument that you need energy to make them and so forth is also invalid as these vehicles may need more batteries but standard cars need tons of materials and fluids to make their engines work as well. Its a zero sum game realistically.
The electric car is the answer. It can be made efficient, powerful and long running on a charge. Making power under each and every hood is not the answer. Good for weekends and fun time but not necessary on the whole for simple transportation.

They wont tell you this but the salmon shortage,(they really cant swim up a ladder too well -thats why the frantically have all these FED fish stocking hatcheries ) bear shortage and all kinds of bad things come from dams....but the masses will be brain washed into status Que thinking.
The electric car as is, is a night mare I.M.O.
