Bad propaganda, but whatever I'll bite. If you have a nation of gasoline cars, you can only use gasoline to move them. If you have a nation of EVs, you can use coal ... or solar ... or wind ... or geothermal ... or natural gas ... or nuclear to move them. ICEs are really, what, 20-30% efficient? While coal in a powerplant is likely 37% efficient. Transmission losses is 5%, then the EV is 90% efficient in power to wheels. And again, if your entire nation's transportation is EVs, you can change the source of electricity by replacing the plants. If your nation's transportation is gasoline ... you can only use gasoline. There is no path to transition. Sodium Ion batteries in the 150 wh/kg should enable a dirt dirt cheap 200 mile range city car, and should be able to do almost 300 mile range cars as well. 200+ wh/kg LFP should be able to do 300-400 mile cars.
