Which I didn't rule out. My point isn't not using burnable fuels, but where you use them and what that does for efficiency. You can deliver them by sea or rail to a power station, but if you want to use the same fuel in an individual vehicle you've got to truck it to the petrol stations, generating low efficiency fuel expenditure en route; then everyone has to drive to the station to collect it - even if they're only going half a mile out of their way that adds up when spread over several million cars and a year; and finally the individual drivers have to lug it around everywhere they go, inefficiency again, and burn it at the point of use in a small engine without the efficiencies of scale available to a power station.The electricity distribution net is already there, the point of delivery infrastructure is currently lacking, but installing it is a one-off cost, while the inefficiencies of IC vehicle fuel deliveries are continuing and unavoidable.And the EV network can use non-burnable power generation, such as from wind (UK has 30GW wind generation out of a 75GW power capacity, with another 13 GW under construction against a target of 50GW by 2030).
