Electric Propulsion Reality Check

No matter EV are more eficient

The EV Social Warriors who actually believe that EV is more efficient do not understand physics. It is impossible to be more efficient. It takes a certain amount of energy to move your car from here to there. An ICE generates that energy right there, with no losses. An EV has to use electricity. That electricity is generated far, far away, then sent to your location. That sending has power losses that the EV Social Warriors ignore. That power loss is called voltage drop from resistance. Then that energy has to be stored again, this time in the EV's battery. As everyone knows, there is power loss in the charging of the battery. Ever felt a battery getting charged? It is hot. That is loss of power. Again, EV Social Warriors ignore that power loss. I have played with a few numbers and estimate that an electrical power plant has to provide about 125% of the power needed to move the car from here to there that an ICE car has to use, because of those losses. But, the EV Social Warriors don't consider that the extra 25% power generated exists.

“An ICE generates that energy right there, with no losses.”

Too funny. Where would you even start. Oh and the fuel just magically appears in the tank right. Lol.
