(51,076 posts)but here goes. Natural gas is cleaner burning than either diesel or gasoline so take that out of your spiel, most EV's are charged at night when the power companies have to keep the generators running even though they don't have any market for it at those hours so take that out of your reply so whats left is right wing coal, oil and nuclear energy industry bullshit. Its called spinning reserve or something like that.
You can't simply ramp up a coal or nuclear plant like you can hydro, which by the way is about 20% of our electricity produced. Natural gas and hydro both are easy to ramp up production relative to coal or nuclear. I think you need to maybe give some more serious thought before you post bull like this was/is
Electric motors are in the 95% to 97% efficiency so take that non fact out of your reply and after that not much else left but the fart part of the taking a shit on the OP's post.
with all due respect of course
ETA: I'm not able to find the exact percent of hydro so I may be wrong there but best I remember its somewhere around 20% correct me if I'm wrong.
