EVs are significantly more efficient in turning energy into movement, and generating power in a dedicated power plant is far more optimized than it is within an ice car. Even if you are getting all of your power from coal power plants, the emissions are likely close to parity if not marginally better.

That is the worst case scenario however. Most places in the developed world only get a percentage of their power from coal, and over the lifecycle of the vehicle, that percentage is set to reduce. It makes little sense to take about the state of the world today, when a new vehicle is expected to be on the road for multiple decades.

Your talking points are tired and not helpful. This is a transition that needs to happen. There are better critiques to be made.
