I guess I don't understand the graphic.

It's obvious that once the energy is in the battery, the electric car is way more efficient. But that energy has to come from somewhere and then there are losses getting it into the battery.

Of course, there are costs of getting the gas from the ground into the ICE car as well.

And the costs of manufacturing the car, battery, and disposal for both cars. Maybe some other factors I'm not aware of (probably!)

Looking at the big picture....is the electric car still "better"? I'm not trying to argue. I just think this information is critical to have before generating an opinion. Has anybody run the numbers and not fudged the hell out of them?
