Sure, electricity is "pure" energy and it does not have to be converted to another form of energy in the car. Power plants on average (or even the worst old coal plants) are more efficient than the ICE in every car. So, if the heat conversion is significantly more efficient for electricity, than it is for gasoline -- and electricity is about equal to your diesel in *ideal* conditions, what is your point?
Not only that, but gasoline and diesel have significant overhead:
Have you tried burning crude oil in your car? Where would you even get it from? How much energy goes into finding, then producing, then refining, and transporting the oil and the gasoline / diesel to get it in your tank?
