We could debate this all night, and likely neither of us would have the actual correct figures as of today, but the point stands up I think.

True, but you have to compare like with like. The fuel in the fuel station has an overhead just as the electricity has an overhead to the plug wherever the car is charging.
46kW of energy will move our EV 191 miles on average based on the numbers from the last 3⅐ years. 46kW (a gallon) of diesel moves my S60 D3 a best 65 miles over the last 10+ years I've had the car. Yes, I could probably better that but I don't hyper mile either car.
