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.

A key thing that is forgotten is that you also have to mine the resources for and build ICE cars. Additionally, you have to extract and refine the oil.

When the oil companies created this argument that EVs are bad for the environment they pretend that the gas and the ICE cars just exist without needing to be created. It’s a comparison.
