Not true. Large-scale power plants are WAY more efficient at turning fossil fuels into work than internal combustion engines. Even if all electric car power was generated by coal (it's not, almost half of electricity generation now is nuclear + renewables), electric cars would still have net emissions that are half of gas cars.
