Why is powering an electric car via electric from fossil fuels better than powering a vehicle with fossil fuels directly?
In: Technology
Because it decouples the car’s energy source from its mode of propulsion. A gas powered car will run as long as there is gas available, but there is only one source of gas. An electric car will run as long as there is electricity available, which is better because it can take advantage of evolution in how we generate electricity.
Fossil fuels may be a primary source of electricity right now, but once that changes, electric cars will keep on running regardless.
