it's not all that different from blood diamonds. people buy something for it's visual value, and pay little mind to the who what why's of how that item got to them. the point of the argument is to pay attention to more than just one's usage of a product, and be mindful of how it gets to you, or how it stays powered.
some of the studies i've read have indicated that even if one accounts for an ev being charged by a coal power station, it still is overall more efficient than any given ice vehicle.
