An article is a bit stupid.
All-electric vehicles makes perfect sence as a city cars to drive to work during a week and make shopping on weekends.
It is just plain stupid to drive 1000 miles with that.
If you are a green nut about fuel economy on the highway push for turbodiesel. In Europe they have 50 mpg fullsize turbodiesel cars for decades.

If you are a steam turbine, you can consider a boiler a power plant.
The rest of us use coal power plants to generate electricity. Items like the steam turbine, condenser, generator, scrubbers, feeders, pumps and the boiler are all part of the power plant and all of their efficiencies are required to supply the product.
Line losses should be limited to only the part on the electrical line, not include things like the steam turbine and condenser. Line losses should be the same regardless of the source of generation.

When you run out of gas, you can walk or hitch a ride to the nearest gas station and buy a gallon or two and hike back.
When your Leaf runs out of juice, you only have to worry about pushing it one way to the nearest electrical outlet, charge up and drive off,........I don't see a problem. /humor

Shoulda brought the soap box derby car along as a back up.
I could do that riding (it it still ran) the old 1972 2-cycle Foxy moped (35-40 mph top speed; was a ‘good’ climber) on one tank full.
Rode it several times from Riverside, CA to Long Beach & back.

They should have used their brains and either installed a rooftop mounted generator ...How about a rooftop-mounted windmill to charge the battery?
Yeah, it's sarcasm.

In case anyone was wondering whether he is as stupid as we all think he is.He's probably also opposed to hunting, thinking people should get their meat at grocery stores, where no animals are harmed.
