Gas Cars Consume Much More Electricity Than People May Realize

I figure if "@Tideland Prius" can stoke discussion about EV versus Gas I'll sling some thought porn on it too.
So a German magazine "has calculated that, for every mile traveled in a legacy vehicle, you’re using about half as much electricity as you would to travel a mile in a pure EV." Most of that electricity is what is known as grey energy, energy embedded in a product, like that used by gas stations and the like. They therefore speculated that an EV would use that same electricity in a more efficient fashion.
