@Colovion @deplorable1971 @BrowningMachine @RussJensen5 They use really efficient machines and sometimes just pumps and pipes. How do you think the electrical power starts at the voltage at the alternator, steps up who knows how many times to 230,000 volts, then back down to 13,800 volts, to 4160 volts, to 480 volts?

I see a lot of hopium in the EV cult that "One Day, Batteries Will Be Just As Powerful As Gasoline!!" Sit down. I'm going to tell you something sad: They'll never reach that energy density. Ever. Because physics.

@BrowningMachine @RussJensen5 I'd be willing to accept the weakened capacity if they were truly better environmentally. The simple fact remains that they are not. We're merely trading one form of pollution for another.

@deplorable1971 @BrowningMachine @RussJensen5 That’s absurd. EVs are way better environmentally due to much higher efficiency. At least cite an actual reason to irrationally dislike them.

@Colovion @deplorable1971 @BrowningMachine @RussJensen5 They aren't more efficient. EVs have more losses in the delivery chain. It brings them siren to comparable with hydrocarbon fuels.

@BecomingTheNext @deplorable1971 @BrowningMachine @RussJensen5 That’s stupid. How does gas get from the oil field to the pump, magic super-efficient unicorns? 😂 Seriously, this is the worst myth yet. Do better.

@Colovion @deplorable1971 @BrowningMachine @RussJensen5 Or, if you're going all the way down to residential chargers, 240 volts, through another transformer. I don't think you understand how much power is lost from the power plant to your load.
