Where I live the great majority of electricity generation is renewable. Switching from internal combustion to EV is absolutely a net positive.

And where you live is no doubt a minority use case for the global situation. Right?

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.

Even in Poland - the coal capital of Europe - EVs lifetime co2 emissions are now lower than ICEs.
