Probably because I mis-quoted Jonny Lieberman.
He'd written: ' This is a comprehensive study you should read for yourself.' It would have been easier on everyone If I'd left it to the individual to inform themselves, or not.
I should have written: ' ...the energy required to produce an average EV's battery is equivalent to about 74 gallons of gas.'
Then, 74 X 111,836 Btu = 8,275,864-Btu.
