Really?
a) 1L of petroleum fuel at 1.3 € contains 10kWh with an average efficiency of 25% you make 2.5KWh useful mechanical ie 1.3 / 2.5 = 0.52 € / kWh useful
b) The price of electricity in France is 0.12 € / kWh including subscription. With an average efficiency of an electric vehicle "wheel drive" of 70% we therefore have a useful kWh price of 0.12 / 0.7 = 0.17 € / useful kWh.
So "roughly equivalent" with a coef of 0.52 / 0.17 = 3 (= 3 times cheaper for electricity) ... well, I find it hard to understand the "roughly equivalent" ...
But you may have made another reasoning that I would like to study ...
Because to arrive at an "equivalent" price it would be necessary that the efficiency of the socket at the wheel of an electric vehicle is also of the order of 25%, something that nobody wants if?

I couldn't help telling him that it was not the fault in the price of energy but rather in the higher energy efficiency of the electric car ...
a) Already you just contradicted yourself ... is it cheaper or same price?
b) He is right, not vis-à-vis the EPR but there is no reason why the electro-road kWh should not be taxed at the same level as petroleum kWh.
c) Anyway do not dream: public charging stations (which already cost a fortune to the community) will see their kWh electrorouters very quickly overtaxed ...
First we pate the pigeon so that it is equipped and afterwards ... very classic technique of the government in matters of taxation ...
d) What did he say to you?

For the "anecdote", the first speed of this pollution were the cyclists who circulate in the city ...
The fact that pollution kills more than accidents is a fact that already scares the authorities and the population a great deal, but we must stop with the numbers skewed ...
Because 500 for France alone ??? Sorry but that is nonsense ...
It seems to me "a little" a lot anyway: if it were true in 20 years France would have lost millions of inhabitants ...
Or http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A9mog ... _la_France
France gained 1,7 million inhabitants between 1999 and 2004, an average growth of 0,58% per year over this period. For 2006, the increase is estimated at 393 inhabitants.
Another report speaks of 30 deaths a year for France, that's already more credible, everything is here: https://www.econologie.com/les-morts-de- ... -2948.html

"France alone would see 31 deaths from air pollution per year, including 700 (17%) attributable to road traffic alone !!"
An "interesting" comparison between pollution and road accident is also made by the author of this article:
"exhaust fumes from cars, motorcycles and trucks kill 2,4 times more than road accidents !! The real obituary report of the road amounts to 17 + 600 = 7242 deaths per year!"
