It's all based on MPGe: Miles per gallon equivalent. This is on the window sticker on every EV in the US.

I don't know how to do the exact conversion; but what I've read over the last few years is that in most places in the US, an EV is cleaner than a gasoline car. The only places where an EV "pollutes" about as much as a gas car are areas that highly depend on coal.

Granted, if you put solar panels on your roof to offset your usage, you're about as clean as you can get.
