    I don’t believe that. On electric vehicles, 90% of the energy is used to move the thing. A charged EV battery can power a standard household worth of appliances for two days.

    Furthermore, the energy expenditure to dehydrate the concentrate is a one-time b cost, whereas transportation cost increases with distance.

    What I DO believe is that manufacturers see transportation as less of a cost, because they offload it to distribution networks.

      Do you have any idea how much energy is needed to boil something down? It’s a shit ton.

      As for distance, you know they can do the calculations for a country right?

      This is not a calculation by the manufacturer. You’re weaving around everything.
