EVs are built and powered by fossil fuels.
If you could build and power the entire EV with electricity that came from hydro, geothermal or nuclear then you might have something. Keep in mind energy travels down hill from high order to lower order. Energy is neither created or destroyed. If you build and power an EV with fossil fuels then…
If you could build and power the entire EV with electricity that came from hydro, geothermal or nuclear then you might have something. Keep in mind energy travels down hill from high order to lower order. Energy is neither created or destroyed. If you build and power an EV with fossil fuels then you are farthest away from the source of energy you used. In other words you are farther downhill. Sorry folks, but thats how energy works for normal people.
And fossil fuels are are produced with electricity. In fact a gasoline vehicle uses more electricity than a BEV because of all the electricity that goes into refining & distributing gasoline. Energy is routinely created, mass --> energy is where virtually all energy comes from. Fossil fuel inputs full lifecycle for an EV even powered on a Coal grid are lower than an ICE vehicle. And of course you can power an EV on hydro, nuclear or hyper-efficient gas/coal which you just can't achieve hyper-efficiency on a ICE vehicle. The only way is with a series hybrid Electric vehicle. When EV manufacture matures it is quite possible a standard BEV skateboard chassis will come with a series hybrid version for long range. Hyper-efficient one speed small diesel engines can be built.
