Neither is NG in a car.
I refer you back to the OP to understand why I point out the efficiency of burning petroleum to make electricity.

I can fill my ICE with 2 gallons of gas in about 10 seconds.
YOUR MOVE TESLA!!
I filled my Tesla while tearing the clothes off my girlfriend last night, your move CricTic
Have fun trying to avoid that puddle of diesel the idiot left 5 cars before you.. (I had that happen when filling my ICE Jeep and it sucked..)

No doubt that NG CCGT is more efficient than other fossil fuel combustion methods but I cannot think of a good reason why all the plants operating at much lower efficiencies should be ignored. Unless you have a personal NG CCGT in your garage, a fairer comparison would be a residential generator that combusts petrol. Their efficiency is ~ 10 - 15% IIRC

Maybe you big ego guys should settle this with a race for titles. Find out which car is faster. How about Atlanta to Miami?

How about the the next light Not in a hurry to get to Miami and enjoy using the energy my roof provides on a daily basis.. but I see your point.
I cant remember the last time I met someone at a gas station who shared the same passion and had an interesting conversation for 10 minutes..

The first time I read this, the word "titles" came out wrong. I really didn't understand what kind of race that was. Glad I reread.

Umm, I think the people in this area know where the superchargers are being built.
Where do you get off assuming you know what is going on out here?

I'm not assuming anything, all I'm doing is providing information that is listed on Tesla's web page. It lists where active superchargers are and where one is being built in the Philadelphia area. I don't know why doing this bothers you. Not everyone is aware of information that is out there.
I may not live in Philadelphia but if I ever drive there I will know exactly where to stop to charge.

Presume it is; the alternative is just too sad.

I did have to read the original post twice. Then you get it.

This hurts my ears. We don't call roads "the" anything around here. It's just 95. or maybe I-95.
They are? Where? Where can people drive by and "see the progress"? The pinpoint on that map is just the centroid of the city of Philadelphia. That pin drop location on the map is probably the worst possible location for a SC in the City of Philadelphia.
There are currently only two active superchargers near Philadelphia.
- Newark, DE which is about 45 miles southwest of Philadelphia.
- Burlington, NJ which is about 30 miles northeast of Phildelphia, and requires a Delaware River bridge crossing
There are two more in process of being built:
- King of Prussia, PA -- 20 miles Nortwest of the city, and not really a convenient drive to get to. It's well outside of the city
- Deptford, NJ -- 12 miles away, but again, requires a Delaware river crossing and toll.
As of right now, there's nothing being built in the City of Philadelphia.

Funny because I have exactly the opposite problem. Whenever Americans leave out words it grates terribly on me. "She wrote me while travelling down 95" just seems grammatically incorrect. "She wrote to me while travelling down the 95" is how it would be written here. People are different.

I say "the" hospital, but in many places in the world they simply say hospital.

I might be wrong, but as far as I know (in the US), only in California do they say "the 101" or "the 405".

Don't take it personally, Americans mostly know pigeon English. It is a patois of English and Twitterese.

Expand the abbreviations and dropped words. Which sounds correct now:
"She wrote to me while travelling down the interstate highway 95" or "She wrote to me while travelling down interstate highway 95?"

That's southern California where they attach "the" to their freeway numbers. Us northerners don't do that
