“Notice where the electricity comes from?”

Hey, I'd much rather we power our cars on American made nuclear, natural gas, coal, hydro, etc. and not have to worry about the geopolitics of oil. The EV tax subsidies come out to roughly $600 million a year yet no one seems to bat an eye at the $50 billion a year our navy spends policing oil traffic and all the other geopolitical entanglements oil causes.

Do you think we would get rid of our Navy if we only used electric cars?

You haven’t answered as to the correctness of your statement that
>>3. A gasoline engine is only about 20% to 30% efficient. Most of the energy is wasted as heat. Whereas an electric motor is over 90% efficient.<<

Not true when you add in where the electricity came from.
