And if a bunch of them get stuck in a traffic jam for a couple hours, dead cars on the road, and think what that would be like in the winter with no heat and no way to move except to get out and walk.
a traffic jam even for a few hours wouldn't kill an electric car unless it was running low on a charge to begin with. fun fact: teslas get way better milage in town than on the hwy.
No, he's correct. Electric motors don't "idle" like gas engines. They consume virtually nothing when they're not driving. You're talking tops 1kW for accessories/AC. A bit more for heat.

The laws of thermodynamics call bullshit.

He's claiming the electric is more efficient in town than it is on the open road. It's not. It can't be.
