“Electric drivetrains are around 80% efficient converting electrons to motion.
Gasoline drivetrains are around 20% efficient converting gasoline to motion.”
Pure BS. You’re comparing apples with potatoes. You’re including the energy generator in the ICE “drive train”. If you look at only the drive train past the engine the efficiencies are not that different.
To do a fair efficiency comparison you have to include the efficiency of the coal fired electric generator to charge the batteries, the transmission losses, the charging and discharging losses, etc.
If you do that, the ICE is actually more efficient.
