Electric cars run on outsourceed explosions.

Depends where their electricity comes from :trollface:

Eh most energy on earth can find it's source from a star or supernova, so close enough for me. Even ice cars are solar powered.

I mean if you want to get right down to it, literally everything that does work is solar-powered.

The universe's explosions!

[-] mycelium_underground@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

While they can it's unlikely, not all burning of stuff is an explosion, and not all electricity is made with burning stuff.

If you are charging up your Tesla with a generator, maybe, but where fossil fuels are burned in powerplants it's incredibly unlikely that it's an explosion in an internal combustion engine. Generally it's a big fire that heats water to steam.
