Gasoline-powered cars also have an ecological benefit over electric cars: In many places including several U.S. cities, the air coming out of the tailpipe is cleaner than the air going in the intake! Electric cars don't do anything to directly clean up the air.
Assuming you were responding to my post (which was factual but tongue-in-cheek), which part do you think is BS, and have you taken a moment check the facts?
Well, after a fact check you would find something like NOs and CO are reduced which are considered to be the pollutants related to 'clean'. Vs what we all consider, that the co2 to also be a pollutant, but that report does not. As usual it was a mash-up of formal and informal uses of the words 'clean' and 'pollutant'. Certainly more CO2 came out than what went in.Assuming you were responding to my post (which was factual but tongue-in-cheek), which part do you think is BS, and have you taken a moment check the facts?
We tear up one of every five miles every year on average anyway. It would only take a theoretical five years to replace all highways with some kind of conductive pavement or something new under the sun.Ever hear of a "Tesla"?
That claimed 86% efficieny is useless when you have to cover every inch of interstate, every lane, with those coils. Do the math on the resource costs of ripping up every inch of highway and replacing it with embedded expensive metal coils and transmission line. Likely far more damaging than just sticking with gasoline! That's why the Elio is a much better idea, even if it cost $15,000 to get one.

Neither will an Elio. At least not without "recharging".
Remember, my handle is "Gas-Powered Awesome", but even so I understand that an electric vehicle with only 80 miles of range (Leaf, Spark EV) is good enough for most Americans. The vast majority of Americans drive less than 100 miles a day. 80% drive less than 50. Something less than 1% drives more than 200 a day. Those 99%+ of Americans are the people I'm talking about.

I'm not buying an EV anytime soon, but I'm not blinded to facts by my ideology.
