From the generator to the wheel of an EV about 30% of the energy is lost as well.
Not sure we’re you get that figure, it even if it’s accurate, it’s far worse for ICE vehicles.
You can have all the fuel delivered to your home if you want. Just order it.
Really? That’s your argument? If so it’s ridiculous because:
1) Most people could never install the required large fuel storage tank and even fewer live somewhere that it would be permitted.
2) You’d still need to attend your vehicle while refueling- which you don’t need to do with an EV. You can sleep while it recharges.
3) Large amounts of energy would be required just for delivery of fuel to millions of residences.
But then you'll need to own multiple cars
Why? Many people never drive that far or if they occasionally do, could rent a car. But more importantly, many people are not that bothered by the idea of stopping for a meal or a walk while their car recharges on a long trip. That is a minor inconvenience in exchange for lower long term cost of ownership, and much less time spent standing next to the car refueling.
The problem I see over and over is that too many are stuck in the ICE mindset of stopping at the gas station frequently for a quick fill up.
As most EV owners have found, the shear convenience of not having to stop at the gas station every few days far outweighs the occasional inconvenience of a longer stop during the rare long car ride.
EVs will never fully replace ICE vehicles IMO, but not for the reasons put forth by most here. In the end, there will just be much less personal motoring, yet what there is (if any) will likely be done in EVs.
In the meantime the faster we make the transition, the longer the oil will last for use in areas it is not so easily replaced: Ship, plane and train transport, petrochemicals, etc.
