Only around 15% of Mexico's electricity comes from burning oil. The vast majority of it (over 50%) comes from burning natural gas. Further, even with a high CO2 content electricity grid it is still cleaner to produce that electricity in power plants, because of the significantly more efficient burning that happens in large power stations versus the over 50% of energy wasted in an internal combustion engine. In Mexico's case though with it's high natural gas content grid, switching to EVs is vastly better for CO2 pollution and general road pollution in general.
