False. Petrol is kinetic energy stored chemmically while with electric cars you first have to convert that kinetic energy into electricity and then back into kinetic. An additional conversion brings more inneficciencies, and that is before counting in the 50% weight gains because batteries are heavy as fuck. This brings more load on the tyres, they need to be replaced more often, as well as the roads themselves.
Electric cars have been around before ICU cars and its always just one battery breakthrough away. If electric cars were so great, they would not need subsidies.
