What a disingenuous title. It should say "Why an F1 car is more energy efficient than an electric car running on coal and oil grid power".
I get all of my electricity from a nuclear power plant, so if I had an electric car the title statement would at least be false for me. For people on solar, the title doesn't make any practical sense, as less efficient solar panels aren't causing any extra pollution (except during their initial construction).

- cbr 10y ago> I get all of my electricity from a nuclear power plant If you use more power, that doesn't come from running the nuke plant more (we run them at 100% all the time) or building more nuke plants (politically impossible). Instead it comes from coal/oil/wind/sun: something else.
