True, but the resulting numerical "hit" for EVs is a lot smaller than for ICE vehicles.
This is largely because
1.) big stationary heat engines are much more efficient than small weight-optimized mobile ones, and
2.) the electricity grid also has some renewable energy mixed in, so a growing fraction of the electricity supply doesn't even need an (energetically imperfect) heat engine.
