To be fair, Arrowhead, the efficiency of an electric car is vastly superior to that of a combustion engine, even after issues of transmission, storage, etc., are taken into account. Ironically, however, what electric cars promise is what environmentalists hate most: a nuclear-powered transportation system.

If you look at he efficiency of an electric motor, you ‘may” be correct.

But if you look at efficiency from the mine or the gas well all the way through the transmission lines to the end result, moving the car from A to B, I doubt it.
