  • I just want to add that a good portion of buyers think they are “saving the environment” by buying an electrical car because it doesn’t burn any fuel. However I was amazed when I realized that most of them don’t understand that the electricity their car uses is most probably (around 94% [1]) generated using fossil fuels and due to loss of energy during transmission they are in fact less efficient than your good old gas burning car.

    [1] this 94% is just what I remember from some years ago. seeing as countries and governments have started adapting renewable forms of a energy recently it’s probably not as bad but still far from ideal which means the point still stands.
