Everything is the same, except the drive trains (we'll assume identical transmissions)... The Gasser is obviously not going to have a charger. And as the charger is 1 of a few points of power loss (motor, controller, batteries, charger, et. al.), moving to a more efficient charger changes the total efficiency and the car is arguably otherwise "the same" as our Gasser counterpart.
For whatever reason, proportional efficiency isn't sitting well with me. I think the experimental setup has potential (pun intended if you want
), however. Execution of the experiment would be difficult I think - as we're measuring energy (a timeless unit), it's totally possible to drive the vehicles in a different manner as long as they're on the same course.
It's late, I'll put more thought into it after sleeping
