It doesn't seem like a useful comparison to me to be honest. On an ICE vehicle I can pretty easily use that number to get an idea of how expensive the car is to drive. On an electric only vehicle, that number doesn't really tell me anything useful about the car. Maybe it makes it look more "energy efficient" but that's not the important thing to me. I want to know how much it costs to drive.
