Yes, but most electricity in the US is produced using natural gas. Natural gas produces much less CO2 emissions than all other fossil fuels. Plus, the efficiency of power plants is double the efficiency of an ICE engine in a car. Switching to an EV easily cuts the emissions by a factor of 2, even when the electricity is produced with fossil fuels.
