16kg of lithium lasts ~2000 (*200 miles) recharges and can be recycled into a new battery pack with little lithium loss and a some energy input.

16kg of gasoline lasts 1 "cycle" for 18-45 miles. The output requires significant energy input to capture and convert the co2 and H2O back into a fuel.

Are you saying you get 18-45 miles from 16kgs of gasoline? If so, that’s amazingly bad.
Good call-out, multiply by 4
