Great. Why do miles-per-gallon equivalency ratings not include efficiency all the way back to the fuel source like real miles-per-gallon efficiency ratings?

Nowhere, that's where.
Try bigger font maybe?
Because miles per gallon are miles per gallon, they can't be something else.
If you want to include the carbon footprint of the manufacturing process, maintenance, longevity, efficiency and everything else, EVs still win by a mile.
Whats the reason you people are resisting this?
So goddam dumb.
It’s almost like the information is out there but they don’t want to see it:

When do electric vehicles become cleaner than gasoline cars?
You glide silently out of the Tesla (TSLA.O) showroom in your sleek new electric Model 3, satisfied you're looking great and doing your bit for the planet.

This is such a common sense issue but they are digging their heels in like petulant children, only because the libs like it.
It boggles the mind.
If EV manufacturers call it a "miles per-gallon equivalency" rating then it should include all energy losses from fuel to ground. Otherwise it's not an "equivalency".
.
grandpa Simpson says what?
the EPA came up with MPGe.
it includes all energy use from wall to wheel. Standard cars are tank to wheel. You’re tilting at windmills here.

Why would EV manufacturers do it if ICE car manufacturers don't?
Let's see ICE car energy losses from fuel to ground and compare them to EVs.
EVs are spanking ICE cars so bad and in every conceivable aspect, it's not even funny.
MPG is what matters to consumer, that's the selling point, for both ICE and EVs.
You are comparing apples to oranges and building a huge strawman, just to validate your silly argument.
I drove my brother in law's Tesla around and I would take that over any comparable ICE car around, even the Lexus he used to drive. It's just a better car. He charges it at midnight and says it costs him about $60 / mo. in extra electricity. My 2014 Lezbaru seems like an antique after driving in that thing.
This is the reality of EV's.
It's weird conservatives are so against them.
I thought they had a chance when Elon was their hero, but that seems to have passed.
They're only against them because they think liberals like them. No other reason.
They are called Diesel Electric Locomotives. They use big diesel generators to power big electric traction motors connected to the drive wheels. It is a form a of hybrid technology.
You're being dishonest here. He said no battery powered trains not electric. There are a lot of electric trains operating in the US.
The Diesel Electric locomotive is the back bone of the transport of goods and materials across the US. Our economy would collapse without them.
