Even if it is, centralized power stations and the transmission losses for charging EVs are in total more efficient than small internal combustion engines.
Well there’s less also less pressure on the oil reserves when there’s fewer cars using them
Let’s not forget that Cubans would generally drive 1950s American cars from before the blockade, as well as soviet cars from… Doesn’t matter when, they were never particularly efficient either lmao
An EV might use 5x less fuel than a 1950’s Chevy even if charged wholly by an oil-based power plant. They’re also building up solar capacity.
Guess you have never been to Cuba? Those old American cars have all been converted to small diesel engines, and there are not many of them, they are more just a tourist attraction now. Most of the cars are modern a class cars.
EVs don’t have to mean the stupidity of ecars, theres ebuses, escooters and ebikes. That latter two can be charged at home with solar panels, inverter (and battery for lights at night etc)

I know that but even the best EV is not helpful of your grid keeps shutting down.

I in fact have not, I don’t live right next to it like you do :)
Well, if 2500 km is right next to, then sure. ;)
It was sight hyperbole yes, I’m just slightly farther away at 8700 km so it’s a bit more expensive for me lol

Oh definitely true, I meant that even assuming they’re staying with cars, the cars would be lighter on the oil reserves than ICE.
But as I read, they’re also using plenty of EVs that are not ecars. Which is even better.
