The 85~90% efficiency claim is ignoring what it took to bring the electricity into the vehicle.

I thought they brought it in on a pack train of unicorns.

Thank you for your EXCELLENT illustration. A car engine uses energy only when it is turned on, a power plant has to generate enough to anticipate what will be turned on. Until we all have our personal Toshiba mini-nuke plants in our neighborhoods we cannot possibly have great efficiency at the plant level.

Kinda like ethanol.
Its great if you ignore the cost of preparing fields, planting, tending, harvesting, and transporting corn. That’s before taking distillation costs into account.
