In the quest to improve efficiency even more, the focus tends to be on the flashier parts of the drivetrain, like the motor (which certainly deserves it) and inverter (which arguably doesn’t, since efficiency is typically already ~99 %), while scant attention is paid to relatively unsexy things like charging cables and auxiliary/parasitic loads.

We have diversified sources to meet many of our energy needs (for example, coal, nuclear power, hydroelectric and biomass). Those costs can be reduced far more if such vehicles' batteries can be charged by the electrical grid. And, on the other, we are paying vast sums to protect ourselves against such terror.
