Energy efficiency is a major concern when you need literally three times the energy to achieve the same goal. Clen energy is already scarce, only places with a lot of nuclear have a semblance of it. BEV would already increase electricity demand a lot (grab vehicle-miles per year and turn it to TWh needed and see), doubling or tripling that would put the goal of decarbonization decades further away.
