ANS -- This Stunning Chart Shows Why Battery Electric Vehicles Win

Here is a very short article with a chart.  It shows how superior electric cars are to gas or hydrogen cars.  EVs (electric vehicles) are improving at a very fast pace -- if what you know is more than 6 months old, it is probably out of date.  Keep watching.  Your next car may be an EV.  Ours is (we have an elderly Leaf -- 2013 -- and we love it.)  One of the biggest differences between EV and gas is that an EV has no gears -- this means that when you step on the accelerator, it jumps, with no hesitation to shift.  I can pull out of driveways or parking lots into a smaller space in traffic, because of that.

The following chart from Transport & Environment is a gem. It's a great chart to explain that battery electric vehicles are, by far, our most efficient automobile option, and clearly the future of transport.

I've seen these arguments made so many times, countless times, but humans are not as great as we think we are at comprehending and synthesizing written arguments. They say that a picture is a thousand words, but a picture is better than a thousand words, because a thousand words is often too verbose to make a good point. Just share that chart any time you're trying to explain to someone why battery electric vehicles are the future.

It's not purely about fuel efficiency either. You get more power at a greater efficiency. You don't have to deal with the way inefficiencies show themselves — loud rumbling, a vibrating car, polluted air. You don't have the costs that come with hundreds of devices meant to improve efficiency. More efficient just equals better.

Naturally, as battery costs come down, the fundamental efficiencies and benefits of electric powertrains show themselves more and more. Electric cars get more and more competitive — er, well, increasingly better than their inefficient competitors.
