Correct. EVs are more energy efficient. Batteries are crappy for the application, are very expensive and energy intensive to create or replace, and basically mean cars won't be on the road after 15 years or so because of batteries. No one is buying a $5k-$8k car, and then spending another $20k in batteries, plus another several thousand to the car manufacturer for the privilege of them monitoring you, so you can use everything you already purchased. It destroys the used car market.
