There is not much in it either way when power is generated from gas or coal. Add to that the assumption that the lithium packs will be recycled (there not at the moment), extraction processes wil improve and its clear the jury is still out on a definative answer.
Dont forget there are also many other considerations, such as materials used in the car/EV and there impact on the local environment, we are moving to materials that are harder to recycle to reduce weight.
A the final point of total power capacity, some days the national grid is close to power generating capacity, how the hell are we going to power 30,000,000+ cars?
I do think ICE has peaked.
Moving away from car ownership may play a part.
