Give or take, depending on blend.

But most ICE’s lose about 2/3 of that energy to heat, with only 1/3 going to the drive train or other car functions .

Ev’s deliver 80-90%+ to those functions.

At least in California, where we have amongst the highest kWh cost, my energy costs are about 1/3 of an ICE vehicle for my EV.
