If we assume that the above figure is correct, the converion is terrible.

1l of fuel is roughly 10 kWh. In the units of the above formula, that makes 0.1l/kWh compared to 0.85l/kWh. Roughly 8.5 times less efficient.

10kWh costs 3.3 monetary units where I live and 1l of gasoline costs 6.3 monetary units. So roughly double for the same energy.

So electricity in the car costs 17 times as much. Which seems to agree with a felllow ecomodder who said it costs 20 times more.

Am I on the right track or am I completely out of it?
