What about all the resources and people used to develop the cars?

Six months break even and then it’s more carbon friendly than an ICE for the rest of its working lifetime

It’s probably still more net efficient in the long run. Besides, the main advantage EVs bring isn’t being more environmentally friendly. The main advantage is that it allows a nation to have more flexibility with its energy sources. i.e. an EV can run on anything that can generate electricity like coal or natural gas, while ICE cars mostly only run on gasoline.
