too much water under the bridge since I was on this thread -I forgot the question/issue you posted your reply to.

What exactly was it that rung your bell and inspired such creative language?

I dunno - it was a hurricane ago.

But this probably helped -

The idea is to improve the energy conversion process so it makes use of more and throws less away. Though not feasible for other reasons, electric cars have an efficiency of 90 to 95%. Meaning they use $95 and throw only $5 to $10 away. And the reason for this is the inefficiencies in the mechanical transimissions, etc. not chemical to mechanical energy conversion.

All that electricity was free, right? No conversion costs?

And you have 100 % efficient batteries?
