Plus most US electricity is generated with fossil fuels.

Most meaning how much? Also it depends on where you are. Some places (including California IIRC but don't quote me on it) already generate enough renewable energy to meet 100% of their consumption and are using fossil fuels as backups. Also EVs are a lot more efficient than ICEs, so they still help even if the power source is fossil fuels.
