Devang Sankhala Added Thursday, October 12, 2023 at 11:37 AM Are electric cars fuel-efficient and how will it affect the future? I recently read that EV battery energy density is way lesser than gasoline. Also, most of the power generated today is from non-renewable sources which falsifies all green energy claims.
