Another thing to think about from the high energy efficiency is how bad energy-wise current electric cars are, and of coruse this translates to resource use in battery materials as well when transporting the median nr of passengers.
See eg here: https://cleantechnica.com/2023/12/11/e-bikes-are-radically-more-efficient-than-electric-cars/ https://cleantechnica.com/2023/12/11/e-bikes-are-radically-m...
- DeRock 2y agoDo you know what's about 5 times worse energy wise than electric cars? Gas cars.
- fulafel 2y agoIt's closer to 2x (see eg https://www.factcheck.org/2024/02/electric-vehicles-contribute-fewer-emissions-than-gasoline-powered-cars-over-their-lifetimes/ https://www.factcheck.org/2024/02/electric-vehicles-contribu...). But yes, a gas car is a worse thing still than a electric car, neither are sustainable. We need to cut car use rapidly to mitigate the climate disaster.
