can someone explain to me why batteries are considered greener when they consist of lithium vs. fossil fuels?

Because it’s marketed that way.
But seriously, if we’re talking about cars, manufacturing the battery itself is not green, charging them *can* be green.
It all depends on where you live, if in your area electricity mainly comes from nuclear, solar, wind, geothermal or tidal power plants, then electric cars are greener.
If it comes from burning fossil fuels, it’s more likely not greener. But you can argue that it’s still better because electric cars “pollute” at the power plant, while traditional cars pollute in the cities where people live.
