To your first point, "The focus should be on producing an efficient..." it's not even close:
> Out of the 8.9 million barrels of gasoline consumed daily in the U.S. on average, only 1.8 million gallons, or approximately 20 percent, actually propel an internal combustion vehicle forward. The other 80 percent is wasted on heat and parasitic auxiliary components that draw away energy. As the world begins its shift to EV proliferattion, the good news is electric vehicles are far more energy efficient on the road. [0]
Meanwhile, EVs start at around 77% energy efficiency and go up from there.
This alone is why EVs will take over mobility.
