Logically yes. However, besides the CO2 byproduct of manufacturing batteries, etc the increase of EV requiring charging also increases additional CO2 from the electrical stations providing the energy for said charging. Here in the US many cites still use coal to generate electricity. Maryland uses coal for the city of Baltimore and surrounding counties. Contributing are dams that generate electricity. There is also a nuclear plant. EV is certainly is not the answer all but is a part of an overall scheme of reducing pollution. I say this because eventually the engineers will solve a great many problems generated by fossil fuels. For decades the internal combustion engine has gone from a cloud of unburnt black smoke and oil mixture from the tailpipe to basically making water at the tailpipe.
