You could google instead of assuming, but where's the fun in that, I guess???
The US grid is 20% coal, 40% natural gas, 20% nuclear, and 20% renewables.
Natural gas plants are about twice as efficient (~50%) as a typical gasoline engine (~25%) and burn much more cleanly, producing fewer pollutants across the spectrum for the same amount of energy.
So right off the bat, you know that 80% of the energy going into the typical EV battery in the USA was produced far more efficiently and more cleanly than would burning enough gasoline to produce an equivalent amount of work.
You could also of course simply google "ICE vs BEV emissions" and read a study summary or two. They all generally agree that BEV emissions are much lower than ICE emissions on a lifecycle basis.
Serious question: why did you not do that in the first place?
