“I don’t agree there. We get ~100% efficiency for heat generation and often 90% (and better) efficiency for motors. The efficiency problem with electrical devices is the creation of the electricity and the storage. “
When I say “end use” that includes everything from power generation to the ultimate magnetic field generated to provide the motive torque.
No such thing of anything approaching 100% in anything having to do with energy, There are losses everywhere, especially in electric cars. Proponents think if they just ignore these losses and don’t report them (like the global warming hucksters) they don’t exist.
This report is an fantasy opinion piece, not a scientific presentation. It is pure speculation, and just the kind of tripe used by politicians to justify idiotic legislation designed to “save the world”.
Sorry to pick at the nits, but that isn't end use, that is the whole system.

Electric heat comes close, since the losses are nearly 100% of the desired product, heat. But that is only for the end device, not the whole system.
