Surprised no one has mentioned the glaring efficiency numbers they show in their own article. 2880 MJ of gasoline in the Porsche for 450 miles, 360 MJ of electricity for the Tesla. I'll grant, gasoline is more convenient for the consumer, what with a century of engineering and infrastructure, but the rest reeks of bullshit.

    I'd even say that depends. If you are using your car almost exclusively for commuting and relatively short rides, like most people do, chances are you just plug it in at home and never even have to drive to a "gas station". I'd call that more convenient.

    Oh, I absolutely agree, with my car plugged in right now. But then you have to listen to the naysayers talk of that one time a week, month, or year when they do more than that would cover, so I decided to preemptively dismiss it by pointing out that only applies after 100 years of infrastructure are in place.
