“Today, the energy density of hydrocarbon fuels is 13 times higher than batteries. “
And 80% gets lost to waste heat.
Thank you for posting.
EV technology needs to be pioneered and "domesticated" imo.
In the meanwhile...
A percentage of power gets lost due to internal battery resistance, including when charging.
And speaking of charging, not only are EV lithium batteries known to not hold their charge when weather gets cold, but it surprised me that batteries are claimed to take longer to charge when they are cold.

Corrections, insights welcome.
