trivia or relevant?
From the same website:
"The BTU content of the fuel is interesting trivia, but the fact is that electric cars actually convert far more of the BTUs you put into motion than internal combustion engines. "
Are we supposed to be impressed that gas engines are great at wasting energy quickly?
(Disclaimer: haven't checked this for accuracy, but seems likely given that 8 hours will get most electric cars to go 40 miles or more, which you can't do on 1/3 gallon of gas.)
