Don't think so. Watched a good video on the subject a while ago, but it's in German. Looked it up: https://youtu.be/5V7DvFFBLJg >Electric cars are more energy efficient by a factor of 2.5 to 5.9. Even today's best diesel engines only manage overall efficiencies of around 15%. The rest is lost as heat. An electric car charged with electricity from a remote oil-fired power plant still achieves an efficiency of 35%. This takes into account power plant efficiency, power transmission and battery charging losses. Even today's best combustion engines cannot keep up. Their potential has been exhausted for years. The exhaust gas balance of the diesel car is also significantly worse than that of a modern oil-fired power plant. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
