We can watch gasoline sales with time and see how effective E cars are in bringing this down. Right now consumption is recovering from 2020 and have reached 8.4 million bbls per day and are still climbing.

From my research you're normally purchasing DC power from a fast charger and from there the only losses not seen by the economy reading are that from battery charge and discharge cycling. That's about 96 to 98% efficient on my EV according to my measurements.... The dashboard display with regard to "watt hours per mile" is NOT how much power is purchased. It ignores a stack of losses.
The DC charger has it's own losses. They are non trivial.From my research you're normally purchasing DC power from a fast charger and from there the only losses not seen by the economy reading are that from battery charge and discharge cycling.

94 or 95% efficient according to ABB specifications. I'll remember this the next time I worry about the costs of refining, transporting and dispensing gasoline after I simply pay for it at the pump.The DC charger has its own losses. They are non trivial.
What does "grid power makes it to wheels" mean anyways.The DC charger has it's own losses. They are non trivial.
Despite claims to the contrary, 59 to 61% of grid power makes it to the wheels. This does not include regenerative braking or downhill regenerative runs, something any hybrid can do.
Bottom line: A Tesla will travel 15-19 highway miles on 10 pounds of coal. Even less if they go 90.
A Nissan Altima will go 36 miles on one gallon on the highway, at 90.
Tell me again who pollutes more?
Yeah most Wawas have them now too.
It's a way to quantify the efficiency losses at the user end. Put another way, 60% of the energy purchased (how much the electric meter spins/reads) vs. how much energy makes it to the wheels.What does "grid power makes it to wheels" mean anyways.
