According to some sources, electricity accounts for about 20% of total energy usage. So with your numbers, we would need extra 6.75% of total energy used. 6.75% of 20% is an extra 33.5% of electricity.
Show us the data.
> There is.
There is literally no relation.
"Cars use 27% of total energy in US. And 25% of 27% is equal to 7% of electricity generated." HOW??
> 25% * 27% = 7% more electricity
There is no relation between amount of petroleum used and amount of electricity generated in the data provided by you. All you can say is we need the equivalent amount of 7% extra of total energy used today. You did not provide any data about how much of total energy used is electricity . If electricity is 7% of total energy usage, then we need 100% extra to charge all the cars.
TLDR: your math is wrong.
A correct analogy would be if BMW was taking a 30% cut from anyone selling seat covers for for BMW cars and EU telling them to not do that.
They should have done the study based on gender, rather than sex. This study is discriminatory against trans people so its inherently anti-trans.
So we need extra 7q BTU of electricity, right? Which is about 18% of 37.8!
So, not 7, not 9, we would need at least 18% extra electricity.
TLDR: Your math was wrong!
