I need 30 Panasonic 18650 batteries.

3.7 volt x 3.4 amp x 30

= 111 volt x 102 amp = 11,322 watt hour

Is this correct?

Providing these calculations are correct the electric vehicle is more economical.

Not correct. 3.7V x 3.4 Amp-hours 12.58 Watt hours

However if seriesed up to make 111 Volts the amp=hours stay the same, then you have 111 volts x 3.4 Amp-hours= 377.4 Watt hours.

If parallelled, the voltage level stays the same then 3.7Volts x 102 Amp-hours= 377.4 Watt-hours.
