Right up until the moment that you do the calculation correctly and factor
in generation and transmission efficiencies.
When it turns out to be reamarkably similar.

Similar to IC, yes. So no advantage.

Yes, and better than hydrogen.

However, 'no advantage' is a more sweeping statement than I would care
to make. Possibly in towns with regenerative braking there is an
electric edge.

As soon as they fit towns with regenerative braking, I'll reconsider.
