And fossil fuels are are produced with electricity. In fact a gasoline vehicle uses more electricity than a BEV because of all the electricity that goes into refining & distributing gasoline. Energy is routinely created, mass --> energy is where virtually all energy comes from. Fossil fuel inputs full lifecycle for an EV even powered on a Coal grid are lower than an ICE vehicle. And of course you can power an EV on hydro, nuclear or hyper-efficient gas/coal which you just can't achieve hyper-efficiency on a ICE vehicle. The only way is with a series hybrid Electric vehicle. When EV manufacture matures it is quite possible a standard BEV skateboard chassis will come with a series hybrid version for long range. Hyper-efficient one speed small diesel engines can be built.
