"That’s because electric motors convert more than 90 percent of energy into movement, while gas engines can’t manage more than 45 percent efficiency."

The electric vehicle is at best getting .9 x .5 = .45 at a huge cost premium and using drastically more polluting materials in it's battery stack, and it will have to be replaced long before a gas engine vehicle would.

Farhad Manjoo is the writer, and he has been pointed out to me before as person to any attention to by my father, and inveterate leftist who never had the wit to vote for Reagan.

That idiot just yesterday, as I was mentioning how slow my employer is to pay expense reports, said if I was in a union I wouldn't have that problem. He's right.

My job wouldn't exist for me.
