How is EV greener in the long term than combustible engine vehicles?

Don’t get me wrong. I know the vehicle itself will have way lower emissions and than a regular gas or diesel vehicle, but what I’m confused on is that they will have to mine to get the raw materials to make these batteries and then once the battery is done it’s lifespan they will need to find a way to dispose or recycle these batteries. Imagine doing that capacity when the whole world has transitioned to EV.

They are so much cleaner when used, that even when there is a bit of extra pollution making them, it’s cleaner in the end.

The batteries are not garbage, but a source for new materials, meaning that the mining-part gets cleaner when enough batteries are at the end of their lives.
Even if a battery breaks, the same amount of materials that were used to make it are still there.
