Electromobility is just now picking up momentum; further, electric cars are only as emissions-free as the production of electricity that charges their batteries. Fuel in the tank or food on a plate—this question does not come up with synthetic electricity-based fuels. This also affects efficiency ratings.

These cars and trucks have internal combustion engines that are extremely inefficient. 70% of the energy from burning fossil fuel is wasted as heat, while only 30% goes to turn your wheels. So after we use all that electricity pumping oil out of the ground, refining it, transporting it, we then waste 70% when we burn it.
