    Ah, but the trick is that with an EV, it’s more energy efficient (75% compared to ICE’s 20%), and it can use other fuels than just fossil by proxy. If you have hydro, or solar, you can charge using those, since it’s just based on what your energy provider uses to power the grid, or what you might have yourself. An ICE has a much harder time switching between fuel sources, or unburning petrol. You also don’t get fumes, which is nice both from an environmental, and “eugh car exhaust” perspective.
