It is coming from cleaner and cleaner sources. Compare the MPGe from 2015 to 2018.
In the midwest you went from "a prius is more efficient" to "a bit better than a prius" in just three years, a clean doubling, but not all that great. At the same time, places like NY and CA went from "significantly better than a prius" to "2-6 Prius equivalents", once again in just 3 years. I'm interested to see where things get a few more years from now (keeping in mind that the most recent data I found is already three years old now).
The power grid is getting cleaner, and an electric vehicle will naturally be in lockstep with that. There are many other concerns, including "cars bad" of course, but this is not one of them imo.
