> In countries that have electricity coming from fossil fuels, it's inherently less efficient "Inherently" less efficient? As in, "electric cars are inherently less efficient that gasoline cars in fossil-fuel countries?" What a claim! And untrue! Unless you meant "electric cars in fossil-fuel regions are less efficient than electric cars in nuclear regions" then sure. But that's obvious. Even in India, which has the worst carbon emissions coming from coal in the world, electric cars are about on par with gasoline ICEs. In India, it costs about 350 grams of CO2 emissions per kilometer of EV travel. That's roughly equivalent to a 25-30 MPG gasoline vehicle when you look at well-to-wheel for both. In every other country in the world, coal emissions are better, which means that categorically electric vehicles are better for emissions than gasoline vehicles, even if the power source is coal.
