That depends upon how you generate the electricity. Also, you're talking net consumption whereas I was talking point consumption. You can't compare the two, they are separate arguments.

I'd rather be in a car accident with thermally-isolated batteries than a giant tank of compressed air...

Did you know that calorie is actually kilo-calorie? That being said, which were you referring to? The traditional "calorie" that we know for our diets, or the accurate way of using it kilo-calorie?In case people are still confused, kilo-calorie was shortened over time to simply calorie.

sorry - not 80%electric motor is maybe 80%, battery 95% but electric generation is only 50-60%

Also, an electric car is far more efficient than a gasoline car, so the amount of pollution generated by producing the electricity to drive an EV a given distance is much less than the pollution from the gasoline to drive an internal combustion car the same distance. Whereas a combustion engine car can make use of around 20 percent of the energy that it consumes, a battery electric car is able to put more than 80 percent of the energy it consumes to use in moving the car down the road.

No. Most electric power generation in the United States does not use oil. Coal, hydro, nuclear, solar, and natural gas are typical sources for generating electricity. Power generation plants, even coal burning ones, are inherently more efficient and less polluting than vehicles due to economies of scale and the ability to more efficiently remove pollutants from a smaller number of much larger fixed locations.
