Using a unimaginable amount of energy to source raw material to build batteries and associated structure to power a motor vehicle compounded by transmission losses just does not pencil out. How many thermal BTUs to create 100,000 miles of transport? As clean as smokestacks seem they are laden with pollutants. If this is The New Physics I want out. The solitary single only way to compete with hydrocarbon transportation is mass transit. LNG powered. You have no idea how much energy it takes to manufacture a battery. Batteries needed for locomotion are mind boggling energy consumers. Imcorporate a battery into locomotive usage and the efficiency game is lost.
