While EVs dominate efficiency, internal combustion engines (ICE) remain unmatched in energy density, thermal mastery, and mechanical artistry. Discover why ICE still outperforms EVs where physics matters most.

    “It’s just physics.”

    AI slop detected.

    For some reason LLMs just looooove that “It’s just physics” phrase. Its not just physics. Internal combustion engines are an unholy mix of nearly every field of science known to man. If you want to try and explain how awesome they are, you can’t handwave it all away in the first paragraph with three words.

      If that’s gonna be the argument I’m picking the electric motor anyway, with the shittiest ones having 75% efficiency (good ones are in the 95+ range) versus the ICE where the most efficient ones in the entire world barely reach 30%
