One thing that few people think about: until somebody can build an electric motor that is 100% efficient there will be a "cost" for running an electric motor. That cost is the inefficiency of the motor, which manifests itself as heat! So, in the end electric motors actually cause global warming!
You think an electric motor gives off nearly as much heat as what comes off a hot internal combustion engine, it’s radiator, it’s exhaust piping, and hot exhaust gases from the tailpipe?
