——Electric cars use less energy because electric motors are extremely efficient at converting stored energy into forward motion. Around 90 percent compared to a gasoline engine that may only be around 25 percent efficient.-——

But the electricity is created at oil or coal-burning plants, which are 33% efficient, and then transported over lossy power lines.

Are you suggesting electric cars support “the terrorist and A-rabs/muslims.”

This would make dragnet2 a hypocrite!

OH NOES!!!
