You are only "helping the environment" in a relative sense. Relative to driving a lot with a combustion engine, you are doing less damage to the environment.
I don't have an EV -- I drive a gas-powered car -- but I only drive 3K miles a year. Relative to you, I'm "helping the environment even more. I produce less CO2 than you per month, and my car required less CO2 to produce than yours.
You and I are "helping the environment" (i.e. hurting the environment less than some alternative) less compared to a city-dweller who doesn't have a car and uses a bicycle and mass transit.
