Why don't you give us some realistic realisable sums instead?..


I am not the one doing the skewed sums.


You then proceed to do some skewed sums. So that's lie #1.

The average vehicle wastes 80% of the energy in the tank,


That's lie #2. IC engines are between around 30 and 40% thermal efficiency.

negating any energy density claims of the fuel in running vehicles. The
average electric car wastes less than 5% of the stored energy.


That's both irrelevant because you deliberately avoid well to wheel
efficiency and biased because with all EVs electricity is lost from the
battery while they sit still.

There is the clue.


You don't have one.
