A statement like "EVs pollute more than ICE engines" needs substantiation.

Large power generation systems (even messy ones like coal) are tremendously more efficient per unit CO2 produced than a car engine[1]. You could make a case, though it's been proven wrong many times, that the production of the battery in an EV generates more waste than a comparable ICE vehicle.

And electric motors are way more efficient than ICE motors that hardly reach 40% efficiency.
