Yes, in some cases, fossil fuels are burned to generate the electricity used to charge electric cars, but this highlights two of electric vehicles’ many advantages. Conventional gasoline vehicles only convert between 12 percent and 30 percent of the energy stored in gasoline to power at the wheels.
