RE:Germany REJECTS EU Plan To BAN ICE Vehicles By 2035 Reminds me of a problem we had to solve in Grade 10 Science Class. The scenario would have happened on the Columbia if they new it was mortally wonded.
You are on the space shuttle and have blown your engines. It will be 6 months for a rescue mission to reach you. You have taken stock and have enough food and supplies to last until rescue. Among your supplies you have A Dozen Astro Chickens and several sacks of corn. What is the optimal use of resource (feed corn to chickens and eat eggs?).
The answer was to kill the chickens immediately and eat the corn yourself. You can't afford to waste the corn on the chickens' matabolisim because you'll
waste about 95% of it.
Apply that same idea to EV's. It would be stupid and wasteful to fire up a bunch of Nat Gas Generating stations to generate electricity for the extra load of EV charging. Skip that step and use CNG as an automotive fuel.
