Another well-thought-out post. My only nit pick has mainly to do with the above -- which seems like a non sequitur: the size of the tank (electric or gas) has no direct effect on fuel efficiency. (In both cases, there is of course the indirect effect of weight... but that fits into a discussion of vehicular efficiency rather than one on powerplant efficiency.) But you presented a bunch of good, solid, points.
Thanks,
