Hybrid makes sense. Full electric does not.

I wish I could recall the Freeper I had the conversation with a few months ago about the “efficiency” of gas versus electric cars. He had numbers that confirmed my long held, but unsubstantiated, belief that no electric system (available today) could match the energy efficiency of the gasoline engine. The amount of almost indefinite energy storage in a gallon of gas costs way more when you have to generate and use energy on the electric grid to charge batteries sufficiently to get the same work in an electric system.

I fail to see how environmentalist don’t get that, ultimately, electric cars are a bigger carbon footprint than economic gas driven cars.
