That's already very far from the truth, you can guarantee that at least 40% of the energy used in running an EV will be from renewables. That's not something you can say about diesel or petrol.

I'd say it's simply a matter of math, for most people it will be vastly cheaper to run and own than ICE.

So there is a case that the initial EVs that are now appearing as second hand cars are worst examples of EVs? Because this will make me hold my on turning to EV for even longer.

I might be a bit blinkered but probably the opposite to what you think, I expect many more people will have higher demands than what I think.
