With average us energy mix and fuel economy, a new EV will have emitted less co2 than continuing to use an old gas car after about a year. There are factors other than just co2 to the environment, (for example, cobalt mining is pretty bad) but EVs are much better on co2 at least.
I know. That’s another reason I haven’t bought one yet, besides being the sort of miser who would rather drive the same car until it falls apart beneath him than take out more high-interest loans. I’m holding out for people to figure out that good public transport is much better than everybody having cars.

Sir, I fear you may suffocate.
I didn’t say I was holding my breath, just holding out. Besides, I can breathe through my ears.
