minus-squareLeft as Center@jlai.lulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 days agoIt’s correct though. ICE efficiency in a car ~ 20% for a car, gas to wheels. Worst case scenario : diesel running to generate electricity (the engine stays at its efficient point): 45-50% battery efficiency to charge 85% battery to movement efficiency ~85% Electric cycle efficiency : ~33% You need to add ~15% overweight for EV, making a conservative 28% total cycle efficiency. It is definitely the energy density which makes the difference.
