Electricity will never be as efficient as gasoline which is why they have to bribe idiots into buying electric cars with government (i.e. taxpayer) subsidies.
Please tell me what is so efficient about the energy required to mine and refine the elements used in the batteries or the power losses in transmission lines to get electricity to chargers.. how about the energy required to haul 1500 lbs of batteries around instead of 150 lbs of gasoline?
p.s. gasoline and diesel vehicles increase in efficiency at highway speeds... the opposite of battery powered cars so go ahead and tell me how you are going to travel 500 miles in 7 hours in battery powered car.
I was never able to drive 500 miles in 7 hours in my latest ICE either (Volvo V90 T5), I had to stop for toilet breaks.
I do a ~500mi trip every few months from my home in southern Sweden to my grandmother in middle Norway.
That trip takes about the same time now (+/- 20 minutes) in my Hyundai Ioniq 5 compared to my V90.
I did 3 stops in my Volvo, first one for food/toilet, second shopping (Swedish sweets for granny on the border shop)/toilet and a third stop for toilet and snacks. Usually this trip would take around 8 hours highway driving.
The only stop that takes longer now is the last one, depending how much driving I plan to do around my granny’s hometown. If it’s 0, the stop takes the same time.
To fill the Ioniq 5 with 200 highway miles takes less than 20 minutes during summer.
Efficiency wise, the energy in an ICE car is mostly transferred into kinetic energy. In addition to the forward momentum created, the energy in petroleum product is also converted to sound and heat energy(good in winter/bad in summer), these are unwanted energy conversion that I don’t have in my EV.
And that’s what I meant with more efficient.
There are thousands of reports out there about the total life cycle of ICE vs EVs, and depending on who paid for the report, the winner is either one.
One thing to bear in mind is that the average US car has a lifespan of 11 years. That’s not enough time to kill the batteries in a modern EV, so battery replacements are off the table.
Another tidbit of information is that it takes about 1kWh to refine 1 litre of gasoline. My car uses about 2,1kWh/10km doing 110km/h.
For me an EV is much cheaper than an ICE because of the energy prices here in the EU. I understand that the calculations in the US are different with really cheap gas compared to us, and higher electrical prices.
I also recognise the “green problem” with EVs, and I find it a bit egoistic to transfer the pollution (the car is usually driven in a first world country) to the mining countries (usually third world).
But as I’ve said multiple times on this forum, I don’t drive an EV because it’s green, I drive it because it’s great fun and a lot cheaper.
It also saves me a lot of time, taking my usually long trip above, and the worst case scenario of 20 minute longer, I will still save time on an EV over the year total.
I drove the V90 to fill it up every ~10 days, about 40 times a year á 5 minutes = 200 minutes of my life filling the car every year.
To refill my EV at home takes less than 5 seconds plugging and unplugging the cord.
And usually recharging on the road is already within the timeframe of my normal stops, maybe 20 minutes extra on. 500mi trip. I can do 10 trips like that every year to equal the time used at a petroleum station.
The discussion is about practical use, not some theoretical range.
In opposition to you, I’ve actually tried both means of transportation for a long period of time, while you base your “knowledge” on myths, rumours and propaganda. Who’s the brainwashed?
Why are you so hateful? We’re in this together, attacking your allies is not the Q way.
I’m not your enemy, neither is my EV. When everything falls to rest, and the DS/NWO is turned to dust, both means of transportation will have their use.
I will still be happy. Will you still be hateful? Sharpen up, and find Jesus in your heart, we’re not enemies.

They win with sheep buying into their bullshit.

The discussion is about vehicles not your bladder.
You are obviously weak & brainwashed and as such, beyond any help through any rational means.
I cannot help you.

We are done.
You aren't anyone's ally.
I can't help you and neither can Jesus... we have better things to do.
