Few tidbits -
1) Pouring gas in the car is equivalent about 4MW energy transfer. Small power plant! Hard to match with electricity!
2) The maximum miles driven for the charge is calculated very optimistic. People tried to do some real life driving and they could go a lot less distance. Especially if they needed to heat the car, and run other conveniences.
3) The MPGe tries to match gas to electricity! It is again calculated such that the Ge is a lot more than G! Intentionally, to make EC a look better.
E.g. Ge costs somewhere from $5 to $9, so if you calculate costs from the Ge, you are very mistaken!
