Then that electricity has to go down lines and get stored in batteries. Unlike gasoline which you just dump in the tank until you need it.

And after dumping it in the tank you get 20% of the energy to the wheels.

With combined cycle NG plants you get twice the energy to the wheels.

And EV’s can use electricity generated by nuclear and hydro plants.

One member here powers his EV with his roof solar panels.

You can plug in an EV at home. You have to go to a gas station to fill up.
