Any comparison should start with passenger-miles per unit of energy and consider average annual cost of operation. Because conditions vary there is no one best way to get from point to point. Electric vehicles can charge at an RV park or at home overnight and do well in urban traffic. They typically cost twice the price of a similar gas powered vehicle but are twice as efficient. A rural traveling nurse will want a Subaru AWD. Within a 25 mile radius of home I want a streamlined bicycle I can take on the bus or train.
