should use a heat pump for a block heater. . . 2x more efficient than joule heating but you can't get as hot.
I bet ryland can get further than 45 miles on 33 kwhrs. In which case he is more FE than my del sol measured from the car alone. chain included he easily gets 3x what I get.
I'm sticking with the idea of allowing electric an additional(or substitutional measure of miles/KWhr) because everyone here can understand those numbers and they are easily comparable to mpg.
Jim, you can't decide to punish EVs because ICEs do something stupid(combustion event is efficiently stupid, but its the best thing we have ATM). You can't just arbitrarily throw away half the electrical energy because its not converting to heat and using it, just the same as it would be unfair to say that gasoline created movement has to be run through an alternator and then run electric motors. electric motors are 80% fuel efficient which dominates 30-33% efficiency of the BEST gas-ICErs.
