  1. It would be better if charging car during the DAY as that would reduce grid storage required, for solar power, significantly.

  2.  @david9192  Maybe. I don't think anyone knows that sort of thing. Fast change means many others will be proposed and there are thousands of "break throughs" every decade.

  3. Difficult to confirm or refute that 6kwh, complicated by fact that distillation from crude yields many products, tar, kerosene, diesel... 20MPG would be remarkable, only possible due to, say 125MPGe EV.

  4.  @JohnHettinger6  You misunderstood my comment....it was about the E invested in a gallon of gas.

  5.  @Lildizzle420  Cargo ships are by far the most fuel efficient transport on Earth.

  6.  @Lildizzle420  Apparently you didn't know, that's shocking for sure.

  7. Somehow never get tired of that NYC 1900 to 1913 photo comparison.

  8. Did some contracting for a Nevada brine Li producer decades ago...did little follow up on the site/company couple yrs ago and they had just shutdown with no restart date! NEXT I hear they are coming back on line, someone made a bad call on Li demand/pricing or they'd have been stockpiling instead of shuttering.

  9. "Cure for high prices IS high prices" These levels will drive a gold rush on Li, dunno the lag time but they'll prolly crash the price sometime this decade, lol.

  10. Electric required to make gasoline can't possibly compare to energy IN gasoline (useable fraction), wouldn't remotely work economically.

  11. Tangent: USA corn ethanol really is that ludicrous--approx the same energy inputs as recovered from alcohol created, diesel tractors, trucking, fermentation/extraction, fertilizers and then there's the environmental degradation, horrific economics, etc. That can only happen with government market distortions. Naturally my California has equally brilliant H2 for fuel program....all these things take on a life of their own and difficult to impossible to stop.

  12. If solar electric the source, it would be even better to charge during the day to reduce grid storage requirements significantly.
