Also the source of electricity to power the refineries. I found some figure on how much electricity is required for every litre of petrol and it wasn't insignificant - not as much as an electric car but uses but certainly not an order of magnitude less.
Unfortunately I can't remember where I found that information.
- ajuc 5y agoAccording to [1] it's 200 Wh per gallon so 52 Wh per liter. Average car burns 10 liters per 100 km so that's 0.5 kWh per 100 km. According to [2] best Tesla uses ~15 kWh per 100 km. That's 30 times more. [1] https://www.cfr.org/blog/do-gasoline-based-cars-really-use-more-electricity-electric-vehicles-do https://www.cfr.org/blog/do-gasoline-based-cars-really-use-m...

- aembleton 5y agoThanks for digging out the links. I thought I read about it using more than that, but I've probably mis-remembered.
