Not disingenuous, because that's exactly the comparison I want. We have an objective: to get me from A to B using least amount of energy/producing least amount of CO2. The question is whether a reasonably small & efficient gas-powered car does better at this than a full electric SUV getting its electricity from the grid.

Of course, if I have the option of using a small, efficient EV, that's obviously going to beat both of those, but until Aptera starts selling around here that option's not available.
