HVDC transmission losses are 3.5% per 1000km compared to 6.7% per 1000km for HVAC [1 ] so you are order of magnitude off. [1]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi

- littlestymaar 3y ago6.7% per 1000km is .65% per 100km which is almost exactly 1% per 100miles, as GP said. So it's just off by a factor two if you compare with DC.
