Every time there is a conversion of energy from one form to another there are efficiency losses – a concept known as ‘energy vector transition’. Hence, they are likely to always have relatively poorer performance, be more expensive in initial purchase, in ongoing maintenance and per kilometre travelled costs.

It also produces contrails, which are being studied for their impact on climate change. Advanced semiconductors, motors, and batteries are enabling energy conversion efficiencies above 90 percent and continuously improving the ratio of power to weight. This work includes cockpit displays and ground maintenance.

Also maintenance on these (no oil changes to speak of) etc will cost much less than an internal combution propelled car. Then they are driving by electric car conversions every day and not seeing them. It is also flex so that future biomass fuels such as cellulosic ethanol, methanol can be used (no oil). Follow the money.

Our 2020 study , published in Nature Climate Change , found that manufacturing a typical EV sold in the United States in 2018 emitted about 7 to 12 tonnes of carbon dioxide, compared with about 5 to 6 tonnes for a gasoline-fueled vehicle. Those tax revenues are necessary for the maintenance of roads. passenger vehicles.
