[QUOTE="wilberforce15, post: 5357749, member: 5053"] Electrical motors convert about 85% of the electrical energy into mechanical energy. For gas, it's about 40% that is converted into mechanical energy. Gas engines require so much extra motion and parts, the conversion rate is terribly inefficient. Electric motors have so much fewer parts and steps, the conversion is much more efficient. That's why coal is dirtier than gas, but a coal-powered EV is cleaner than a gas car. [/QUOTE]
