As you should know electric heaters are 100% efficient.

But only if you ignore all the distribution network losses

From fossil fuel to power on the road, an electric car uses around a quarter of an ICE car.
Even less with the new gas fired power stations (Not a practical option using methane as a car fuel either)



And your smart meter will soon start collecting the missing fuel duty
and 20% VAT via your electric bill. Ho Ho.

You don't really believe that HM Treasury will simply abandon the
£20 Billion that fuel duty and VAT on fuel raises every year do you ?.
