Its not necessary. It looks like most/all of the people on this list don't like mpge, but mpg is very familiar and its what the average car buyer understands. I suspect that Big Brother will saddle EVs with an mpge rating instead of a more accurate Whr/mi and somewhere in Washington there is an oil industry lobbiest pushing for the mpge calculation to put EVs in the worst possible light.
