I found out that that’s why EVs are even more efficient with a full-on coal power plan than it is to drive around an ICE vehicle - and it kind of makes sense. With a power plant they’re going to monitor how much power is being used and try to generate the correct amount with as little waste as possible, which then of course is the electricity that goes directly to you. ICE vehicles though you’re literally hauling around a generator with your car at all times, constantly wasting energy that could be used elsewhere, never getting any true efficiency. When you start thinking that way it makes a lot of sense
