This number is implausibly high. Combined cycle natural gas is only 65-70% with a large amount of engineering put toward capturing waste heat

- upsidesinclude 4y agoYeah, it is. But heat recovery is also paired with diesel, depending on the usage, with nearly complete conversion efficiency. All the calcs for electric are bullshit. Every engineer that isn't a bleeding heart acknowledges this. They have either fudged the production cost or disregarded the recycling cost or ignored the mining expense, drive like a puritan with no climate control... on and on. Well then how about an electric car driving full out in freezing temps? Or with the A/C max? I can take nearly 100% of the waste heat from a diesel genset working at maximum efficiency with 42% conversion
