A diesel is more like 30-33%. Even 40% is hopeless.

Average mains powered electric power
supplies and chargers are only 70% efficient

Not so. Even if what you say is right these would act like heaters big
enough to heat the house, they would be giving off so much heat.

so it could be argued that an electric car charged through
the mains isn't that much better.

Even at 70% it is nearly twice what a filthy, noisy tractor like diesel is.
