Does it matter? Producing electricity is almost trivial to scale up when compared to oil, especially if the political weather forecast for your region is nuclear-friendly.
Not included in these calculations is the wear and tear of a standard gasoline engine, which are still running on pretty much the design of the original 1885 Daimler Reitwagen.

any numbers on cost per mile just to get from point a to point b as compared to a gas-powered car?

Wolfram has the estimate for you: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%2885*kW*h%29%2F%28300*...
Thats half of what you pay per mile with a Prius: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%28gas+price%29+*+%281%...

The electricity cost is noise compared to the depreciation and wear on the battery.
On that front, Better Place says they can make money leasing batteries to you at 10 cents a mile.
