Yeah, I don't know that 12% loss is a huge deal. On the Nissan Leaf they're referencing, it means it goes from 19 KW/100 km to 21 KW/100km. The additional energy used in a year of driving 20K km is about 400 Kw/hr. Switching a couple of heavily used 60w bulbs to LED would save that much alone in a year. Or having one fewer cable box plugged in. Or a family of 4 each reducing their shower length by 1 minute each.
