Fossil fuels being coal as the largest contributor, which accounts for about half. A much smaller percentage is oil.

But even if it were the major contributor, it is more efficient to drive on the electricity generated from fossil fuel plants than it is to drive on an internal combustion engine with that same fuel. So if all the consumer cares about is their ongoing cost to drive, they're still better off with an EV with rising oil prices.
