>> What losses occur from generation station to distribution outlet? <<
A hell of a lot less than leave an internal combustion engine. The MPGe may be a stretch as a metric, but you even if a Tesla Roadster doesn’t REALLY get 125 MPGe, it sure gets a lot more than the 16 MPG a performance sportscar would get.
The real measure of how much fuel it costs? A Tesla costs about $7.50 to charge... the price of two gallons of gas. It goes as far as an 8-gallon Toyota fill-up.
My Chevy Spark cost $13k to buy brand new.
I can buy lots of gasoline with money saved over a Tesla car.
Agreed my car is not as sexy looking, but we are comparing costs here since that was your point about cost to charge versus filling the tank with gas.
Your metrics are garbage overall.
The distribution system isn’t remotely prepared for the majority of persons to have electric vehicles.(especially older utility companies)
Where are these materials being harvested from?
How much energy is being used to transport them?
How much from energy is used from harvesting to end product?
Do you think there won’t be massive PUC rate increases to accommodate all the upgrades needed on the distribution system?
Typical black box thinking. You just address a small part of the realities involved.
