So...you say you want to buy an electric car?

Ok, now research what it takes to make the lithium batteries, transport the materials 1/2 way around the world, manufacture the batteries, ship them 1/2 way around the world, manufacture the cars and ship them, all using freighters that consume ungodly amounts of fossil fuels, and oh yea, the strip mining process to extract the components to make the batteries, all using heavy equipment that is burning fossil fuels, and you can add that all to your "green" equation!! Then tell me how green these cars are!!
