I bought a Nissan leaf.
If happen to charge it with mostly natural gas then the power likely came from a natural gas combined cycle plant which can easily be 50% efficient.
If it's from a coal plant, less than 38%.
For wind power I'm just going to say it's about 100% efficient.
In Europe they seem to have figured out how to use waste heat for home heating, but in the US no one really seems interested.
