“Uh, except you only get about 30-35% of the energy into the motive force of the car. Compared to >90% of an EV.”

But fossil fuels were burned to get you that 90%. So you have 90% at the wheel. But you have to factor in how that electricity was generated. And unless you have a nuke plant nearby it was generated using fossil fuels.
