It still takes energy to charge the stinking things, and since we get most (75%) from burning coal, what is the difference If they would let us build new nuke power plants to charge them, maybe. Na, I dont think even then  jb

Their argument is that emissions are much easier to control when emitted
from a few central locations (think coal burning plants) vs. 100 million
mini-emitters (think combustion cars). I don't know if that's true, but
it IS probably easier to clean up one giant coal plant than 25,000,000
cars...

I think we should be putting a small nuke plant under each Quickie Mart. <G>
You can pay your electric bill while you get gas. And a couple of Twinkies for the road.

Jim,
I don't think it's a one to one trade-off. All things being equal, the electric powered vehicle should be vastly more efficient than its gas powered cousin. True, you still need energy to drive them, but for a given distance the thing should just use a lot less of it wherever that energy comes from. I don't imagine it can be as rewarding as a 427 sucking through the secondaries, or even a hyper-four coming on cam, but I guess I should reserve judgement till I ride in something other than a stock Pious.
Steve

I wonder if that is really true? It is rare that you can create energy (burning coal, combustion), transfer it to another location (hi tention lines), Change the basic foundation (A-C to D-C) then load it into a storage battery, and use the energy. Maby, but ill bet it is not s effecient as a moden gas engine, (not my 427!!) jb
