Think about this. That waste heat wasn't free. It's unused energy. That means you've had to put much more potential into the gasoline engine to get what you need. With electric, less energy is required. Of course, the heat is nice when it's cold. Still, from an energy perspective, the gasoline engine is rather wasteful. That's a shift of the subject, which was range under worst-case conditions. Since you bring-up efficiency, I wonder what the total efficiency of the electric system is. Waste in the generation process. Waste in the distribution process. Waste in the charging and discharging of the batteries. Waste in the electric motor. -- "I love how chrisv was trying to insinuate that being able to rotate an image was a useless feature." - "Slimer", lying shamelessly |
