On fuel losses.

For me it's the loss from solar on my roof to garage charger for 85%+ of the fuel. The rest from the grid with

The AEMO estimates that electrical losses equate to roughly 10% of all electricity generated in the NEM.

There are two distinctive features of electrical losses:

• They increase the further away the generation is from demand as resistance increases with distance.
• They increase quadratically to the electrical power transmitted.

For petrol or diesel - energy for
Crude Oil extraction -> shipping to refinery -> refinery/distillation -> shipping to country bulk storage -> trucking to petrol stations -> petrol pump
