Not that I'm anti-electric car. I just want to see the best technology win for the right reasons.
What about purchasing a car online? Who's paying sticker for a BMW?

I’m not sure he was speaking about a cradle to grave scenario. I wonder, if you factor in the energy required for oil extraction, refinement, transport by ship and truck to some other corner of the world etc, would his statement still be true?
It’s not like gasoline or diesel simply sprouts from the pump at the gas station.
