that's the other part of the problem with electric cars that I didn't express very well
fossil fuels-> electricity -> battery power -> motion (each transfer loses energy as heat)
vs
fossil fuels -> motion
yeah, probably still a bit more efficient to run the power plant and electric car, but less so than many think.
