This, and it's murky because a good chunk of that used directly by ICE will move over to power generation to power EVs -- it's not as if we're anywhere close to 100% renewable power even just for EVs here.
There's a good EIA graph about halfway down on https://www.weforum.org/stories/climate-action/us-fossil-fuel-consumption-eia/ https://www.weforum.org/stories/climate-action/us-fossil-fue... that breaks it down.

So not only is some of that electricity from a renewable source, you also need much much less electricity than you did liquid fuel in the first place because it was more efficient.
