Sure. If you sit in EV1 all day long on the parking lot running
air conditioner and 500W stereo, and at the end of the day move
3 miles before batteries go dead, you can declare that EV1
was <1% efficient today.

This becomes academic and pointless debate because experiments
are not clean and conditions at which EV1 went half its usual range
are not exactly known and likely not reflect real everyday life,
(may be just that bad driving day).
