Yes, but it is still a better situation to be in because then when you do start to moving toward renewables (which seems almost inevitable with the lowering costs of solar and batteries (battery improvements largely coming from EV development(?))) it will have more impact.
EV's also have some other side benefits, like less noise (noise pollution is a real thing) and less air pollution (tires and asphalt are also a large part of car related air pollution).

Countless studies regale the impact of local car polution on citizens. That EVs produce none while stopped in traffic, and significantly less overall is amazing, especially in the denser parts of a city. Anecdotally whenever I return home from time out in rural Australia, it takes me a while to adjust to the air pollution while near roads, and we have some of the cleanest air of any city.
