A gallon of gas contains 33.7 kWh of energy.
ICE sedans get on average 31.7 miles per gallon, which is 0.94 miles per kWh.
Most electric SUVs get 3-4 miles per kWh depending on temperature and driving conditions. Electric sedans get 4-5 miles per kWh.
You may generally dislike SUVs, but those Electric SUVs are still a far cry better than the gas sedans you're giving a pass.
Your mixing of miles and metric is triggering my FauxCD.
