> Replacing an ICE vehicle with electricity isn’t necessarily lowering emissions. Its entirely dependent on how the electricity is generated. This is wrong, however a common misconception. There are really two reasons you would want to replace an ICE with an EV. One is that electricity can be green, but the other is that an EV is a lot more efficient. Your ICE is not just burning fossil fuels, it also uses them mostly to produce hot air and only a fraction of the energy ends up in turning the wheel. ICEs are so inefficient that it's practically impossible to have grid electricity so dirty that the ICE would win.
