I’m not sure that’s true, because coal plants themselves are not very efficient - they’re on average about 30% efficient which isn’t much better than an ICE.
Take that, transmission losses and the higher resource cost to build an EV, and… It doesn’t look great for them. Sure they can be 90% efficient but that doesn’t matter as much as it should unfortunately.
