Cleaner for the environment seems a stretch, when you consider manufacturing especially the batteries and fueling, often from power provided by coal burning plants.
We must also consider the environmental costs of manufacturing an ICE--foundry smoke, mining operations, factory energy use, transportation costs for the myriad small parts that make up an ICE, all have an impact. Not to mention the significant environmental impact of oil extraction and refining operations, and transporting bulky liquid fuels to gas stations far away from refineries.
