Electric cars &#x2F;= no more burning oil.<p>It&#x27;s hard to find numbers, but the oil burnt to move passenger cars is nowhere near the entirety of oil consumption, even if looking only at transportation.  Cars are not trucks.  An electric replacement of the diesel semi-trailer remains a long way off.  Cars are also not ships (big consumers) aircraft or trains (smaller consumers).  Getting to the point that we are no longer burning oil for purposes of transportation is far harder than everyone getting a tesla.<p>Has anyone seen a practical attempt at an electric long-haul truck, container ship, or other large diesel engine?
