The fly in the ointment though, is the superior efficiency of the electric motor, compared to internal combustion.
There is a downward trending curve for any compelling arguments suggesting that in a capitalistic nation, anyone could justify the use of internal combustion for any longer than absolutely necessary, in the transition to electrified transport, or anything else which would benefit from electrification.
