400 mile electric RV

Just two breakeven question.....
Fact #1. The carbon footprint (pollution) to manufacture BEV's will always be greater than ICE vehicles.
Fact #2. Depending on how the power is generated (coal vs hydro) the pollution to generate electricity for BEV charging is usually less than the pollution for gas production of ICE vehicles; but not always (the pollution from electric production in states like Hawaii is about the same for gas production--no diff)
So my two simple questions...
Question #1. What is the pollution breakeven point (miles driven) for this ERV to be equal to or less than the ICE version? Said differently, what particular mileage point does the accumulated pollution generated from the manufacture and operation of the ERV become less than ICE counterpart?
Question #2. What is the financial breakeven point (miles driven) for the accumulated cost to purchase and operate the ERV to be equal or less then the ICE version?
If you don't know, then how does one validate which vehicle is the "Greenest" for them? Life is not one size fits all.
