The efficiency of an electric engine (>90%) far beats the efficiency of an ICE (~30%), so much so that even with electricity 100% from coal, over their lifetime (save an accidental premature death) EVs are more CO2 efficient than ICE vehicles. Also, they emmit less than half the micro particles as >90% of the braking is done with regeneration, not using the brakes.
That said, if you drive a 2.5 ton SUV, even electric, you pollute like hell. On a Fiat 500, or equivalent, things start to take a better turn.
