This is why I said we can use electricity to produce ethanol or methanol. > France, who would need to triple its production of electricity to replace its oil consumption from cars. That seems very doubtful. Do some napkin math. A Tesla Model 3 long range has a ~75KWh battery pack. That gives it an EPA range of ~550KM. If you assume that the average person drives 1/3 of that every day (generous), there's no way that you need to triple electric production to cover that.
