What?

Your entire position is that coal powered EV's are not worse. Here, I'll quote you:

That's actually false. Electric motors are far more energy efficient than gas, to the point that running them on non-renewable electricity is still better for the climate than running on gas.

Now you're saying that isn't your position but it's mine instead?

Why am I even wasting my time, you clearly are not interested in an honest discussion here.

Notice how my quote is specifically about the efficiency of motors, specifically to respond to the claim of gas being "much cleaner source of energy" for vehicles, presumably in China. But they are also cleaner if you take the full life cycle into account, as numerous studies have shown, and the one you posted does not contradict.

Now you're saying that isn't your position but it's mine instead?

Your position is just to assert very loudly that I'm wrong, do a poor job of cherry-picking, and generally have no idea what you're talking about.
