On ICE vehicles you lose a lot more to braking

Umbrias@beehaw.org 2 weeks agoThis is generally in line with ice, the drivetrain efficiencies anymore are in the high 90%s (applies to ev too), so from engine out you are losing basically everything to drag.

depends entirely on the kind of drive.

This is one thing I don’t get for the complaints about EV’s: Drag and towing. You have the same losses in ICE, just that the ICE powerplant is so much worse ‘before’ the drive

And breaking. There’s no turning it back into petrol.
