> 25% * 27% = 7% more electricity
There is no relation between amount of petroleum used and amount of electricity generated in the data provided by you. All you can say is we need the equivalent amount of 7% extra of total energy used today. You did not provide any data about how much of total energy used is electricity . If electricity is 7% of total energy usage, then we need 100% extra to charge all the cars.
TLDR: your math is wrong.

There is.

No.
We know how many BTU equivalent are used for electricity generation vs gasoline for transportation. And how much BTU equivalent is needed to power electric cars.

It probably is. Looks like transportation is 36% not 27% - that comes out to ~9% instead of ~7%.
The point still stands.

Show us the data.

There is literally no relation.
"Cars use 27% of total energy in US. And 25% of 27% is equal to 7% of electricity generated." HOW??
