The ChatGPT explanation states that the MPGe calculation is made by taking range divided by battery capacity times the conversion factor:

From your post

3. **MPGe Calculation**: To calculate an EV's MPGe, the EPA divides the distance an EV can travel on a fully charged battery (in miles) by the energy content of the electricity (in kWh) used to charge the battery, and then multiplies this number by the fuel-content factor of 6.67. This provides a miles per gallon equivalent that can be compared to gasoline vehicles

I don't know if ChatGPT is correct, but it is explicit that MPGe is calculated with the 6.67 factor.

So is the multiplier irrelevant or not?

Of course, it's explanation of how the 6.67 comes about makes no sense mathematically, so it's explanation here could make no sense as well.
