There is actually information on those areas. And I don't need to guess as it's what I've dedicated my life too. I'm in my masters for environmental management. Life cycle analysis of EVs vs petrol cars are specifically designed to encapsulate the entire environmental cost of the vehicle, Not just the immediate emissions. 1 and 2 are always included. 3 is very much dependent on the future state of electricity supply and the state we are talking about but even in current carbon supplies switching to EVs is MUCH greener, IN excess of 40% by most reports I've read for Australia (which is probably the worst developed nation in this regard Due to lack of Population density and overdependence on fossil fuels). This is because surprisingly multi billion dollar plants are more efficient at developing energy than the metal box in your car. The figures for this continue to improve with battery tech meaning lighter more efficient batteries and motors, as well as increasing recycling rates for the lithium (now well in excess of 80%) etc. I could go on at great length about how evs will very much help the carbon problem (of course not solve and they are by no means clean, just better), but my phone hates HC and I'm on holiday. If you want to discuss this more offline hit me up because I do this for a living
