…But you have internal combustion engines driving generators to provide electricity to drive the motors. Engineers recognize that, for every energy conversion, there are losses. You’re still burning fossil fuel to drive devices which required fossil fuels to build, and adding more failure points to the system. What could go wrong?
I’m a big fan of electrics, but I understand that there are still many hurdles to overcome, and I get tired of flimsy “reasons” why electrics are “better”.
