To begin, it points out that all electric cars (as conventionally thought--like a Prius, say) actually cause carbon emissions. After all, your electricity has to come from somewhere. Since that's the case, we can then think of all carbon-emitting cars (read: gasoline-powered cars) in terms of electricity.
While the piece doesn't actually come up with how much electricity it takes to power a gasoline car, it does find the opportunity cost of making a gallon of gas is about 6 kilowatt hours of electricity, or 20 miles traveled in an electric car.
The whole piece is worth looking into, so check it out!
