This goes above the usual "you are not going to save the environment with a coal-power plant charged 2-ton lithium bomber" thing.
EVs are cleaner in the immediate vicinity in any case, and some of them handle really well (on good roads). As long as you're amidst a reliable urban power grid, there are reasons one might buy one besides saving the planet. And even at that, the economy of scale of a large modern coal fired plant doesn't make the EV notably worse for the planet than burning oil.
But the Tranchers seem to have got the message that EV == ideological fashion good person points without quite understanding why.
Or if a rational motive exists, perhaps they got it to impress potential pay pigs.
I said rational, not smart.
