It's even worse than that - how much diesel fuel is used in the heavy equipment used to mine the rare earth metals used to make the batteries for this car? How much fuel was used to transport that material from China to the US so they could put it in the vehicle. How much electricity is lost through resistance in the transmission lines from the coal fired power plant to the charging station. If you consider all those factors, this "clean car" uses more fuel than a monster truck.
Every time I see a monster truck, it reminds me of the scene in Idiocracy with the "Dildozer" and "Ass Blaster" trucks against the car that barely runs.

And at least monster trucks are kind of entertaining.
