Terrific! The figures used for the petrol to electric grid comparison are based on a 'well to pump' or 'mine to electrical outlet' cost factor. It would be helpful to see further results when using 'energy conversion' efficiencies factored in from the 'pump to wheel' or 'electrical plug outlet to wheel' (energy per unit/cost) calculations. Look forward to further explanations and maybe address the weight factor concerning gasoline and the lead acid battery power ratio. It would go a long ways in clarifying doubts expressed about EVs.
