It's even good from an environmental perspective if electricity is not all low emissions. In fact, even with the current energy mix in germany, with a large portion of coal.

ICEs are very inefficient at converting gas to movement, so the per-km emissions almost always favor EVs, independent of power generation. So if the manufacturing gets greener (which will hopefully be sufficiently the case by then), it doesn't matter.
