> Best case EV charging is about 80% efficient from the grid, power transmission losses are 7-14% depending on your local grid, EV power usage, from the batteries, is also somewhere around 80%

Pure BS. Tesla is at 95% from outlet to battery on 240V, and it can be even more (depending on the need to run cooling/heating).

Grid transmission losses average at around 5% nationally, but it heavily depends on the location.
