Electric production in a professionally-maintained power plant is more efficient than a car since vehicles have much more restrictive weight, cost, and safety constraints and the average driver is indifferent about maintenance or efficient operation. When something like 70+% of the total energy is being wasted you have a lot of room for competition. The other thing to remember is lifetime usage: if you buy a new ICE today, it will likely be contributing to fossil fuel demand and emissions in 2043. If you buy an EV, it will be running on renewables for many periods already - note how many places are using software to optimize charging when the power supply is greenest – and each renewable power source which comes online will effectively upgrade your existing vehicle.
