Yes, but if we're going to be talking about all-in efficiency, note that a bus or train is significantly more efficient[1] than a single-person vehicle idling in gridlock.
[1] In time, energy, money, infrastructure, maintenance, insurance, human health and life lost to accidents and pollution.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoElectric cars don't idle in gridlock, the motors don't consume energy while stopped. They are also more efficient at 10mph than they are at 50mph, let alone 70mph.
- vkou 3y ago> Electric cars don't idle in gridlock No, but the humans in them do. Traffic and gridlock waste our time because cars are an incredibly inefficient way to transport people[1]. --- [1] https://humantransit.org/2012/09/the-photo-that-explains-almost-everything.html https://humantransit.org/2012/09/the-photo-that-explains-alm...
