The number of miles varies a lot depending on the source of electricity but it goes up to 50k if it's from burning coal IIRC

Which, over the lifetime of the car, is still a win environmentally. Modern cars are estimated to last for 200k miles, and electric vehicles are believed capable of enduring for 300k miles (although most models are too new to really prove that with data).
