how are electric vehicles better for the environment when they pollute so much to make and still have to have the power created by polluting, and they pollute majorly when the massive battery has to be disposed of? I know it sounds loaded but I recently had my other big objection explained away by one of these and so want to revisit this.

I’m not an engineer, so I’m not going to comment on the mechanics. But I can comment from an economic perspective.
Whether we’re there or not, we have, or eventually will have, the capability of generating clean renewable energy. But companies, especially in the US, will not invest in risky R&D and product development without a market force. By purchasing EV’s, solar panels, wind power, and other green technologies, you (the consumer) signal to organizations there is a market. As the market segment grows, so does production. With increased production comes better more efficient technology and economies of scale. Eventually EV’s will be cleaner and better even from a lifecycle perspective.
