First off... I find his tude quite funny...
second.. I do not believe you numbers will ever work going from oil to electric with the miles of transmission and the conversions needed to charge up a car. Maybe someday with nuclear power plants they will work out.
Even if you use natural gas or coal for generating the electricity, it might be cheaper, but not more efficient as far as the energy released vs used.
Right now all the stats out there are hocus pocus anyway, if electric was better they would be out selling everything.
Tesla Motors has the best idea, Make an electric car that blows the doors off the other sports cars out there... Next we need a National Electric Hotrod Association to step up and create a drag league and a National Association for Electric Stock Car Auto Racing.
then you would see some real improvement on battery and power conversion.
