How does EV “go further” if the range is less? — usually about 300 miles, vs. about 400 miles for most ICE cars.

I’m getting very conflicting advice from different people about whether I should get an EV or an ICE (or a hybrid) for my next car. But so far I thought it was generally acknowledged that an ICE would go further on a full tank (vs. a full charge).
A 46mpg car with an 11 gallon fuel tank (Toyota Yaris) can travel for about 505 miles. This is about 371kWh of energy consumed.

The 112kWh battery of a Lucid Air can travel for about 415 miles, or the equivalent of a 125mpg, 3.3 gallons fuel tank ICE car.
