As is transport uses 24.3 qBTU with 90% petro and another 4% nat gas. Remember to add in the 65% distro electrical loss.
9 qBTU seems right for just cars. Have not done the math. With the 65% loss that becomes 26 qBTU required for a sector in total using less than 25 qBTU. Make all transport be EV’s and that 25ish qBTU used today becomes 71 qBTU with the distro losses for just transport. That is more than total consumption today at 69 qBTU for just transport energy.
It does not work.
It’s not there. I suppose the could reopen all the closed coal plants.
🤣
So we would have to more than double the total energy used by the nation to accommodate these EVs?
