About the electric car thing... Harry's garage did a a few videos comparing normal EVs to a Tesla that specifically demonstrated real world driving including long range drives. For all reasons outlined above the Tesla wins easily. The biggest downside that affects all EVs is highway range is drastically less than urban because there's very little regen. Basically the batteries are in constant drain so you start with 240 miles range, and 20 miles of steady motorway and you're down to 170 miles range. Or something like that. They were good vids, worth a watch.
