In Sweden all personal transport by car takes 45 TWh per year, if everyone converted to electric cars/hybrids it would be 13 TWh. That's what the propaganda says anyway. Since most personal transports by car are so short it's in the sweet spot for electric cars.
- closetnerd 12y agoInteresting what those number might mean. I expect energy consumption to be in favor of batteries, but didn't expect that much.
