Clearly EV "green-ness" depends on where the local electricity comes from, and mining / extraction of anything is often very dirty. But I would say that is not a reliable source:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_News
"Natural News is a far-right, anti-vaccination conspiracy theory and fake news website known for promoting alternative medicine, pseudoscience, disinformation, and far-right extremism."
Maybe try these?

Drag racings is probably one of the most obvious places where electric motors can work really well. All of the torque is available at zero speed.
I don't see any super reliable numbers, but it looks like the Tesla wheel motor weighs about 100lbs and puts out something like 400 hp and 400 ft-lb of torque? Sounds like a good drag motor.
