The efficiencies are so different because internal-combustion engines convert a lot of energy to heat rather than to mechanical torque. We'll be interested in how much carbon-based fuels such as coal and natural gas went into the electrical energy that charged our batteries. Personally, I won't miss the smell of nitromethane at all.

Transitioning corporate vehicle fleets from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs) is a concrete step toward reducing emissions and helping every company in a given value chain, along with providing EV charging for your employees. An example would be if a company uses electricity from a coal-burning power plant.

And, if you consider lifetime costs of owning an EV versus owning a traditional internal combustion car, even if the initial purchase price of the EV is much more than your combustion car and you have to replace a battery for $4,000 after 7-10 years, the EV still costs less to operate. If you charge with solar, is way less.
