If it's 100% coal, then yes, otherwise EVs are better. And since the grids are moving to renewables all over the world, it will continue to get better.
Even it's 100% coal the EV's are generally better. But it's close enough to equal that you can bias the comparison either way through vehicle choice. The standard mechanism was to choose one of those horribly inefficient compliance vehicles manufacturers created by putting an electric engine in a gas car frame. "It's a fair comparison because it's the same car". Choosing an EV 1000 pounds heavier than a purpose built EV will make the gas car look good.
It's not even the weight of the EV but mostly how you calculate CO2 of the EV manufacturing part (which is usually higher than that of ICE). That combined with high-coal electricity generation pushes the lifetime CO2 break-even point further away.
Once EV manufacturing is decarbonised (which is I assume ongoing) this will be moot too.
