EVERYTHING in the universe runs on electricity, even your body. It can be created without polluting the environment. It also doesn’t pollute when used. EV vehicles also have a lot fewer parts so they are less costly to manufacture and there is less to go wrong.
Fair enough (even though I could pick some nits concerning ionic (de)polarization and chemical signaling, all driven by various redox reactions and powered by aforementioned hydrocarbon oxidation).
In actuality, nearly nothing in the universe seems to be powered by electricity. Gravity powered fusion drives the stars, radioactive decay (fission) and gravity drive planetary activity, chemical (including photochemical) reactions drive life. Electrical current flow happens naturally, but it doesn’t seem like a big driving phenomenon.
Not to say that we shouldn’t use electric cars, or really electric everything. We should! It’s just that the OPs argument was dumb.

Your body runs on oxidation of hydrocarbons and generates CO2 exhaust, like an ICE engine.
It also uses electricity for signalling, much like the CANBUS in an ICE vehicle.

Electric eels’ hunting is powered by electricity.
Body runs on electricity? Nope.
