EVs are a scam designed to restrict movement of the peons. There is some jackass of FR whose handle I don’t remember who insists that ICE engines are only 10% efficient. The real value for current internal combustion engines is 30-35%.
Just one example of the lies that EV cheerleaders tell. Range is another case where reality falls by the wayside. I can’t determine if they’re so stupid that they think people will believer their lies or they’re so stupid that they believe their own lies.
Yes, The internal combustion is like 30-35%.
The electrical car are no better, if you calculate the efficiency of the power plant, the losses in distribution and the loses in batteries. Say batteries, 80% efficient, electrical motor 90% efficient, losses in grid 20%, Generator 50%. Boils down to about the same. (29% in this case)
What they list is neglecting all “external” losses, which are in EV by far the majority.
EV range is a another racket. Calculated in super ideal condition. People did realistic runs and came with range roughly half of what it is listed. (depends on run and model)
