For lack of better data, let's assume that this makes roughly the ''difference'' between manufacturing electric vehicles vs fossil fuel vehicles. This number would be added to the ''industrial'' section of [[energy demand]]. | |||
This page doesn't currently have data on energy to manufacture [[fuel cell vehicles]], yet.{{rn}} | |||
