"Well, why don't you just tell me where is it you think I went wrong? I'm an engineer, too, always willing to learn."
Here's a fun statistic that makes the point: the equivalent energy of 15 gallons of gas is about 550 kWh.
Standard electrical plugs provide 120volts at 15 amps, or 1.8kWh
So it would take 12.7 days to recharge a vehicle that was equivalent to todays vehicle with a standard electrical outlet.
hey! You are the one who said I misapplied thermo......teach me, I'm willing to learn, too.
>Standard electrical plugs provide 120volts at 15 amps, or 1.8kWh
Yes, but almost everyone has 240v service with 50 amp circuits (never heard of electric stoves or clothes dryers?). So you are underestimating available power by > 6x

Only if you are still assuming equal efficiency. Correcting for that, you can get over 1/3 'tankfull' every night.
