Well even assuming 100% fossil fuels, EVs are somewhere around 3x as efficient compared to an internal combustion engine. But most grids world wide have some renewable energy and it's increasing over time. Not to mention solar at the grid, neighborhood, or home level.

So EVs are more efficient in the worst case (100% fossil fuels) and get better from there.
