2018 Grid Maintenance Washington 
Electric Auto Association
MAY 3, 2022
As gas engine powertrains typically have 100 times the number of parts of an EV powertrain, I have only paid $300 for maintenance: comprising three tire rotations and one cabin air filter, after four years of ownership. I love that my EV is so efficient: EVs convert over 77% of the electrical energy from the grid to power at the wheels.

If a grid-ready fusion demonstration can be realized within approximately 20 years, while achieving cost competitiveness, then fusion can contribute to meeting low-carbon energy demand and achieving cost-effective deep decarbonization in the latter half of the 21 st century.

Why not simply use the electricity directly to charge electric cars via the already available distribution network – the electricity grid? This process cannot be more efficient, cost effective or safer than the direct use of electricity from the grid (or the sun) to charge an EV. Whitehead, J., & Washington, S.
Charged EVs

We could take an Oslo taxi and charge it in a bus terminal in Wenatchee, Washington or vice versa. I’ve yet to see a single plug-in charger company talk about their grid-to-battery efficiency. There’s ease of operations, ease of maintenance benefits. Bob Kacergis: The transfer is a little bit better than a plug-based system.
Cars That Think

Most automotive manufacturers say they plan to use renewable energy in the future, but for now, most battery production relies on electric grids largely powered by fossil fuels. That’s why operating EVs typically releases less carbon than operating gasoline vehicles of similar size, even in coal-heavy grids like Shandong or West Virginia.
