Energy Storage

[santafe2]

One of the big advantages electric cars have over traditional ICE vehicles is the efficiency of power delivery. Much of that gain is lost if we sacrifice 75% of the energy through the delivery system. If the cost of a kWh of electricity is 15 cents, it's 60 cents per kWh to deliver through a system that costs $1.2MM per km to build. I may be missing something but this seems massively inefficient.

ElectReon’s coils deliver about a quarter of the electricity—energy travels more efficiently when the power source is in direct contact with the battery
