This is article was simply terrible. It was written by a guy that calls himself an "energy philosopher." This philosopher does not work off facts, and has not seen the data. The well-to-wheel efficiency for a Tesla is approximately double the well-to-efficiency of a 55mpg Toyota Prius. The efficiency of providing gas to a station from the raw source is much higher than the efficiency of electricity generation and transmission. However, electric motors are so much more efficient that combustion engines, that electric vehicles win in overall efficiency at the end. Don't need to take my word for it, just look at the engineering: http://www.stanford.edu/group/greendorm/participate/cee124/TeslaReading.pdf http://www.stanford.edu/group/greendorm/participate/cee124/T...
