But about 70% (taking an average of the US grid) of the electricity that charges the EV is produced by fossil-fuel burning heat engines, so what matters is (efficiency of large power plant * electric transmission & charging loss factor) vs (lower efficiency of small IC engine * cost of transporting gasoline).
