Power plants are extremely efficient compared to internal combustion engines. I'm getting these numbers from fuzzy memory, but I believe ICE's are about 15% efficient and power plants are around 80%-90%, depending on the fuel. Therefor, electric cars will have MPG equivalents in the hundreds of miles. Plus, the work on the next generation smart-grid has some spectacular technology there, which will make electricity much cheaper for everyone.
