There’s enough energy in a standard tank of petrol to power an EV from Sydney to Perth, and back again. The petrol car is so inefficient that it won’t even get out of NSW on the outwards-trip, on one tank. Some chuckle when EVs use petrol, diesel or coal as a generator for electricty. But if all petrol and diesel vehicles were switched to EVs, with the electricity generated using coal and petrol/diesel, we’d need a huge amount less coal and petrol/diesel.
