“Anyone with even a basic understanding if thermo engines knows that most of that energy is lost to heat and not available to power the car.”
Ice efficiencies range from 20 to 35%.
So even at 20% gas has about 5 times the usable energy density than the LA battery.
Just the facts.
“So even at 20% gas has about 5 times the usable energy density than the LA battery.”
But with no large engine or transmissions which take up space and add weight.
