^^^^ Yup ... Long way to go for trucks and RVs. It's like comparing a 125cc Honda Trail to a 1200cc Harley Davidson. If you make the Honda big enough, you get a Honda/Harley. But the efficiency and effectiveness data you compare is worthless.
EVs have a useful place in the city or short runs in the suburbs, but are way less effective on long trip, or hauling weight. It may get there someday, but not today and not tomorrow.
Hauling a trailer with its own subordinate battery is, technically, just building an EV with a larger capacity battery. Takes no less electrical energy to charge it and move the same weight the same number of miles.
