From the linked article:

So, imagine pouring two gallons of gasoline on the ground every time you filled a 20-gallon tank. People would lose their collective minds. But that will be standard for every charge of every vehicle in the utopian electric fleet of the future.

In the interest of balance, the situation is much worse than that for gasoline-powered cars. It is more like pouring over 12 gallons on the ground each time you put 20 gallons into your car because internal combustion engines are usually less than 40% efficient.
