Wow, are you saying batteries and the electric engine is 50x less efficient per weight for range compared to the kerosene jet engine configuration?

Why are battery electric cars possible to replace gasoline powered cars if the batteries and electric engine is 50x less efficient per weight for range?

I understand kerosene is more efficient than gasoline, but is it that much more efficient?
