All you need is one fact. Electricity is generated to make gasoline. It takes
around 5 kW ours of electricity to refine 1 gallon of gasoline. An electric car

I did not see the CO2 output of fossil fuel vehicles included. That would
be a telling ommision since cars are only about 20% efficient.
The coal plants can burn coal pretty cleanly, but from a CO2 point of view
not so good, EVs are far more efficient. So which is better? 90% efficient

I live in Nova Scotia, one of those provinces that lie above that 600 tonne
