Comments
A fully packed EV can be nearly as efficient as HSR but cars are most often used by a single person/driver.
In '24, China will consume around ~10,000 TWh.
So this is equivalent to ~0.5% of total power consumption in China a year.
This compares with est. ~78 TWh for the entire light NEV fleet.
