During my searching for information on electric cars a common number I find is it takes 6 kwh of power to process a gallon of gasoline.
But I found this on the internet and as with much internet information I can not find a reliable source to verify the number.
Tesla claims 6 kwh will take their cars further than a gallon of gasoline will take most gasoline powered cars.
One problem I see with this gasoline is not the only thing that comes from a barrel of crude oil.
If we stop using gasoline then what will the oil companies do with the gasoline when they process crude oil?
Back in the early 1900's the oil company just burned off the gasoline.
I am not a chemist but there may be a way to convert the gasoline into something we can use.
If all of this is possible then there would be no need to enlarge our electrical power system.
One problem I have is the range of an electric car. Example I am not excited about adding one hour to a trip from Las Vegas to Los Angeles to recharge my electric car when I can easily do it non stop with most gasoline powered cars and trucks even when towing a large trailer.
Just imagine the size of the recharging station in Baker, California to handle the Friday and Sunday traffic.
If they can get the electric range to 400 miles while using the air conditioner or heater I would be interested.
