- zamfi 6y ago4 miles per kWh is what Tesla's Model 3 does (and similar EVs). ICE cars lose a lot of the energy stored in gasoline to waste heat, especially in city driving. That's to say nothing of the challenge of generating gasoline from solar energy.
- gambiting 6y agoEven my Volvo XC60 PHEV(2.2 tonne SUV which also+ carries around a petrol motor and a tank of fuel) averages about 2.5-3miles/kWh in pure electric mode. These numbers can only be improved going forward.
