Dude, not only are you ignorant you don’t understand physics either.
He does, including the theories of science he just mentioned.
In no way are electric engines are less efficient than internal combustion engines.
EVs use almost twice the energy of an internal combustion engine going the same distance with a similar sized car. Here's why:
First, EVs are heavier. You are trying to move almost twice the weight. According to Newton's law of motion, F=mA, that means you need twice the force to start to move it, turn it, or stop it. It also means you need twice the force to overcome friction and drag.
2nd, EVs must be charged to run. That electricity comes from a power plant that typically burns coal or natural gas. The same efficiency applies to the use of that fuel source that you use in a gasoline car. However, additional losses occur to transmit that power to your EV charger, including losses from eddy currents in transformers (why transformers are oil cooled with fans and everything), and resistive and inductive losses and capacitive losses in the power lines themselves. No wire is a perfect conductor.
3rd, charging an EV causes conversion to thermal energy (heat loss) as ions move through the electrolyte barrier. These are heavy particles. The battery heats during charging, which limits the rate at which a battery (any battery) may be charged. Li-ion batteries have a lower internal resistance than most others, but it's still greater than zero.
4th, discharging an EV causes conversion to thermal energy (heat loss) as ions move back through the electrolyte barrier. Did you know that EV batteries are liquid cooled for a reason? That coolant is sent to a radiator for more effective cooling.
5th, the windings of the motor also have heat losses. The motors themselves are oil cooled through a radiator.
6th, the usual mechanical losses (that both cars have) due to tire friction, air drag, mechanical friction, etc. However, due to the extra weight of the EV, the tires have more tire friction.
By the time you add up all the losses to charge and discharge your EV, it gets about 25% efficiency. Modern FADEC gasoline engines, can achieve efficiencies as high as 45%. Some high compression engines can get even better.
You cannot create energy out of nothing. That is ignoring the 1st law of thermodynamics.
You cannot ignore the losses of getting power to your EV charger and the action on the battery that causes heat both during charging and discharging. That is ignoring the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
You cannot ignore the extra weight of the EV. That is ignoring Newton's law of motion.
No. It's theories of science and principles of engineering that YOU are choosing to ignore.
And hydrocarbons are by definition not a renewable resource.
They are are a renewable resource. The Fischer-Tropsche process shows why. The Earth is a giant Fischer-Tropsche reactor. This is why when you pump a well dry, you can close it temporarily and it will refill with oil. This is why you can get natural gas from almost anywhere, including oil wells, swamps, landfills, sewer systems, or underground deposits of their own.
Do you even know what renewable means? LOL
Yes. Both oil and natural gas are renewable fuels. Apparently you choose to ignore the Fischer-Tropsche process as well.
You’re just playing politics on something you know Jack squat about.
Science has no politics. Science has no religion. Science isn't even people. Science is just set of falsifiable theories. That's it. That's all. Nothing more.
So far you have chosen to ignore the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics, Ohm's law, Maxwell's law, and Newton's law of motion. In other threads you have also chosen to ignore the Stefan-Boltzmann law.
You also seem to think that EVs are somehow 'new technology'. They aren't. EVs existed BEFORE gasoline engines were put in cars. The currently used battery, the Li-ion battery, was developed in the mid 80's, some 40 years ago. The current generation of FADEC internal combustion engines was developed a mere 7 years ago.
The most efficient engine in the world is a jet aircraft engine operating at altitude. It is an internal combustion engine.
The 2nd most efficient engine in the world is a diesel-electric locomotive engine. This sucker can haul an entire trainload of heavy freight VERY cheaply. This is an internal combustion engine.
In cars, the internal combustion engine is by far the better choice due to it's efficiency. It has other advantages as well. It does not require anything more than commonly available tools to maintain them. The EV is a clear disadvantage here as well, since they require specially equipped shops (read, dealer repair for EVERYTHING), to maintain them.
