[QUOTE="Matts00GT, post: 16944674, member: 34685"] Efficiency is simply output divided by input. In the case of EV motors, it's the conversion of electrical energy into kinetic energy. As a simple consumer, I don't necessarily care how the product is derived as I'm not an activist for either side. I pay $0.13 a kw and I paid ~52k for the car minus the tax credit resulting in $44.5k. This effectively cuts my fuel costs to about 33% while also giving me a car that goes 0-60 in 3.1s, has brembro brakes on all four corners, requires almost no maintenance, and adds the convenience of never having to stop at gas stations. I'm not going to go down the rabbit holes of precious metal mining, 'green energy' production, carbon emissions, etc... Those mines are going to stay open whether or not I buy an EV as the metals are used in everything from your catalytic converter to your cell phone. The dems are going to continue to push windmills and solar regardless of the vehicle I drive (while somehow also completely ignoring the actual viable power source- Nuclear.) And foreign countries like China and India don't give two shits about carbon emissions. I evaluated the car for what it is. Not what someone tells me it 'should be' or what it 'should represent'.
