    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

    Lots of 'losses' from extraction to delivery to ICE fuel tank!

    I've read 40% of global freight is coal, gas and oil....
