That is an unreasonable comparison to make, considering EVs are competing with ICE vehicles, not trains or busses.

But this is a tangent about rails and wires vs EV, not ICE.

It's a tangent about how to power personal vehicles, which are overwhelmingly powered by the gasoline.

Is that just path dependence, or maybe there are advantages to having lots of built in range?
