Replace "often" with "always". I don't know of any power plant that's less efficient than an automobile engine.
The efficiency increase just by going to fossil fuel grid power is pretty insane all by itself, even accounting for transmission losses. Even if we just kept burning fossil fuels in our power plants, and converted all cars to electrics, the efficiency increase would be incredible.
