The author forgot well to tank efficiency when looking at ICE efficiency. You don't get gasoline out of the ground, you get crude oil. In the middle of Nigeria or Venezuela. Which then has to be transported, refined, and transported again. Gasoline well to tank efficiency is somewhere around 80%, which means ICE well to wheels efficiency is somewhere around 14-16%.
So EVs at 30% are about 2X as efficient as ICE.
