"ludicrously inefficient"

No, they're not. They're, as implemented in a car, a ludicrous example of engineering compromises.

Put a hybrid drive methane spark-ignition high compression engine and you'll have similar CO2 emissions from a e-car powered by a thermal plant (the vast majority of our power). It'll cost as much as a Tesla too.
