Gas Cars Consume Much More Electricity Than People May Realize
04 Nov 2022 | Abstracted from Inside EVs
"...on a per-mile basis, a so-called gas or diesel vehicle consumes about half as much electricity as does a pure EV, in addition to the energy it derives from its fossil fuel.
"...while replacing an ICE vehicle with an EV obviously increases the consumption of electricity by a certain amount, at the same time it reduces consumption by a smaller but substantial amount. So the argument that there won?t be enough juice to power an electric transport system - which was never strong - can join the long list of debunked anti-EV myths."
