And where you live is no doubt a minority use case for the global situation. Right?
Even in Poland - the coal capital of Europe - EVs lifetime co2 emissions are now lower than ICEs.
Almost nobody generates electricity from oil in significant quantities.
OP probably meant fossil fuels in general (gas/oil/coal).
All 3 have very different impact on CO2 emissions.
