The BTU content of gasoline may well convert to 33.5 kWh however when you burn gasoline you are lucky to get 30% converted to mechanical energy. Electric motor is closer to 90%.
It has been long proven an EV running on coal generated electric is still cleaner than a gasoline vehicle. And coal is on the way out right now in favor of natural gas. Besides if gasoline was so clean and low cost why are people not just running their home with a gasoline generator?
Hybrid fuel/electric RVs are the future IMO. The way things are going it will be natural gas/electric.
