It also takes energy to product gas. To produce 4 gallons of gas requires about the same energy as it takes to move an EV 100 miles. In other words, assuming the US average of 25 MPG, replace a gas car with EV reduces fossil fuel 2X in volume. Fossil fuel reduction means less funding for the Russian war machine and Middle East Terror. The energy to produce gas is a combination of electricity, fossil fuel for heat as well as transport etc.

Avoiding yet another war over oil in the Middle East and reducing the strategic risk of fund nations like Russia seems like a good move.

Reducing fossil fuel demand for vehicles by 50% within 10 years is possible.
