"the push to convert the whole fleet"

Is that anything like the "_ agenda being pushed" I keep hearing about, but can't seem to see anywhere?

Well, to me the EV conversion push, which undeniably exists and has many government policies supporting it, does represent an agenda, and that agenda is "Cars Über Alles". The obviously more practical approach to the problem is to support the conversion of transportation demand to less energy-intensive modes such as trains, buses, bicycles, and feet. It isn't very practical to say we're all going to have an EV and we'll have plenty of megawatt-scale chargers for everyone.

Why not?

We extract, refine, transport, store and pump billions of litres of toxic chemicals everyday to power our cars now.

We could do the same with electricity if we wanted to, and use a fraction of the energy.

		The liquid fuel distribution system is simply far more space-efficient than any known means of EV charging. The liquid fuel scheme works because the energy flux through the pump is obscene. EVs don't have an answer to this problem.
