No one for EV forgets that they need copper and other additional materials for the battery packs.

You do in deed dig out and process more materials up front once. Then the car last longer than ICE with less ware and they require less servicing than an ICE saving whole heaps of material in the process.

And then when the car finally reaches it end of life you recycle it. That copper get used as copper again, same with the lithium. There are companies now operating to do this and more coming online as the resources have great value to be recycled not dug out new. And all of this comes without polluting the air we breathe in daily.

How many litres of the fuel and oil you use, gets recycled?? Every single week more is pumped out the earth and burnt, ready for the next litter of oil to be pumped over and over again
If you’re bothered by fresh resources removal you would walk and not drive anything.

As for total life of emissions they have thankfully has plenty of academics run the numbers they are cleaner by a large margin over their life and then they don’t pollute the air where we all live
