it’s also important to remember that electric cars are heavier (you know, batteries) which increases road wear, tyre wear, and makes them more dangerous in collisions (and means they need yet more battery to push the extra weight, very fun).
Electric cars are really only strictly better if they’re also made smaller and lighter, electric cars are great but we should be treating 2-seaters with like 200km range as the norm.
The biggest difference is about 20%, if we compare smallest EV with smallest ICE car. The bigger the cars, the less the difference. And even for the maximum, 20% is so negligible compared to benefits, it’s not even a question.
