I would think demand for fossil fuel generated electricity would go up
as a percentage as demand for electric batteries/cars goes up(perhaps
the demand for fossil fuel for vehicles goes down but they said that
about computers and paper use too and the opposite happened, more paper
is used). Probably this would entail more coal plants (possibly clean
technology). There is a loss in efficiency at the power
plant,transmission lines, the battery and the conversion from battery to
power for the vehicle
I admittedly know very little about physics but this looks like a dead
loss as far as conseving resources go. Conservation means using less
energy more than changing the source of electricity.
