He left out a few things:
- Gasoline has more energy density than batteries, but most of that energy is lost to heat. Getting propulsion from batteries is many more times effecient than getting it from gasoline.
- While the batteries take up more space than a gas tank, the weight is more evenly distributed, and is lower to the ground. Most ICE cars have their heavy engines in the front making them inherently less stable thanks to the weight distribution. Electric cars also have much smaller and lighter engines than their gasoline powered counter parts,increasing effeciency yet again.
- The cost of gasoline vs electricity is not mentioned. Neither is smog from exhaust, noise, etc.
- Etc...
