Pete Buttigieg: EV Engine Is 90% Efficient, While Even the Best IC Engines Are Lucky To Get to 40%

EXCERPT:

WESTERMAN: "And last count, we tried to find the number, over 120 some odd billion taxpayer dollars have been put in subsidies for EVs. Now that’s if all the fuel going into these EVs came from non-carbon emitting sources. You know how much electricity in the United States comes from non-carbon emitting sources?"

BUTTIGIEG: "Even if all of that electricity came from fossil sources, it would still be cleaner because EV engines are more efficient."

WESTERMAN: "I think you need to go back and look at physics a little bit — "

BUTTIGIEG: "Okay, the physics, congressman, are that an EV engine is 90% efficient, where even the best ICE engines are lucky to get to 40%."
