Energy and economic aspects of refueling infrastructures required in 2025 by complete fleets of electric battery and coal derived liquid fuel powered road vehicles are compared. Data are drawn from a study of the United Kingdom. The electric car is cheaper than the liquid powered one. If battery exchange is discounted, all electric vehicles have lower fuel costs than their equivalent. The electric vehicle alternative shows a very large saving in both primary energy and running cost. It requires a much smaller installed electricity generating capacity whose load factor is such that it can be totally nuclear.
