Aren't electric cars counterintuitive? Going from chemical to mechanical energy saves more energy than going from chemical to electrical to mechanical energy.

Define chemical energy in the context of your question.

You get even better efficiency with a fuel cell to electric motors.
H2 in Diesel engines is a stopgap.

Whoever made that image literally just made shit up. Not a single figure corresponds to reality.
