Fossil Fuel Is Wasteful. Before A Fossil Car Fills Its Tank, It’s Already “Spent” Enough Energy To Drive Hundreds Of Miles In An EV.
Just how wasteful is fossil fuel? Most people think about what happens inside the engine… But the real waste starts LONG before the fuel even reaches your car.

2025-07-15 Charging An EV Can Be Faster Than Fueling A Gas Guzzler
“The number one benefit of the EV life is the number one thing that people worry about.” Charging an EV is not the same as gassing up a car. https://substack.com/app-link/post?publication_id=3459451&post_id=163345098&utm_source=post-email-title&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=5fqhcf&token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjozMjg3NjA2NTUsInBvc3RfaWQiOjE2MzM0NTA5OCwiaWF0IjoxNzQ2OTkwOTIzLCJleHAiOjE3NDk1ODI5MjMsImlzcyI6InB1Yi0zNDU5NDUxIiwic3ViIjoicG9zdC1yZWFjdGlvbiJ9.mxjFEHkgtVxSCES9q6qdkmr6C316W3gZufvOyPyfRR8
2025-06-24 Study Finds EV Batteries Last Longer Than Most Gas Cars In The US
“”A new study by Geotab reveals that modern electric vehicle batteries can last up to 20 years with minimal degradation, significantly outpacing the 14-year average lifespan of gas-powered cars in the US. Analyzing data from over 10,000 EVs, researchers found batteries lose only about 1.8 percent of capacity per year, and failure rates remain below

2024-08-07 Are EVs Cleaner Than A Gas Car?
Is an EV cleaner than a gas car? Yes, it is. And EVs get cleaner over time because the grid that charges them will get cleaner over time, with more renewables. https://www.facebook.com/reel/3041296176012984?mibextid=9drbnH&s=yWDuG2&fs=e
2024-05-01 By 2030, 95% of US Car Miles Will Be Traveled By Self-Driving Electric Vehicles
I’ve probably already blogged this, but it deserves to be reprised because it is so important. Tony Seba and RethinkX made this prediction in this report, dated 2017, available at the link below. It’s been seven years since this report was released and recently there has been large incremental improvements in the autonomous self-driving systems.
