Years ago I spent almost a year doing life cycle cost analysis of RFP responses. I was working for a subcontractor of TRW on a DOE contract. It requires a lot of data, and where data isn't available doing one's best to work out what some part would be. Let's just say this is a "bigger than a breadbox" project. I would guesstimate at least a year of work. With access to data on operations of the two mines, it could probably be done. But I have to finish my current project first.
My model Y may have a lot of copper, but its energy usage is crazy efficient. 20% of what a ICE car uses. That should get me some green credit don’t you think?
You would have to look at full lifecycle emissions. If you were charging using nighttime surplus nuclear baseload electricity then I would definitely say you are well into the positive side on the green ledger. Any other electricity source except maybe hydro, certainly not wind or solar, likely you ain't helping much, debatable.

I think you should be asking the manufacturer who sold you a promise of saving lots of gasoline
