A better way to ask this question would be to say, If I had two, identical civic VX's, took one and swapped out the gas motor for an electric equivalent, left the stock transmission in, added a few batteries for a buffer, and kept the batteries charged via an averagely efficient electric generator, would the "electric version" cost me less to operate than the gas version assuming they were both driven in exactly the same way OR, has the electric version lost so much in the conversion of energy process that it would actually cost more to operate?
