"Electric Vehicles are Actually Worse for the Environment than Internal Combustion Cars"

[Irving]

How much fuel is consumed to generate the electricity to fly?

The article makes a point of stating that it's cheaper to charge the batteries than to purchase fuel, so it doesn't matter.

Getting a full charge without increasing the weight is an intresting thing I hadn't thought of though.

Edit. Ignore me. I'm not thinking clearly.

Of course this will work on those regular ICE with propeller. In order jet to work from electrical energy to chemical energy, convert to kerosene would need alien technology. (Or push of gods hand from heaven).
So. Yes shorter regional type with propellers would work.

As aloha said, biggest factor would be mass of x gal gas weight vs battery mass.

Only short hops as most extension cords kind of fall short, on longer trips.

That reminds me of Halo's space elevator.

So I keep seeing these ads for EASTER made by California company Alphawolf, and they really remind me of 1970's Datsuns in styling.

Pretty cool.

I had one of these bad boys back in the mid 80's. Used it as our 2nd car when I couldn't ride the MC.

I want the CUV in a diesel with a lift and El Camino style mini-bed.

Great styling. If those things don't suck, they will sell like hot cakes.

Man. That almost looks identical to the 1977 Datsun B210 that I learned to drive on. Same yellow ish color and everything. Brings back memories of youth and debauchery.
