Fuel is far more energy dense for ICE engines are far far less efficient.
I don't get this comparison point as well, electronics is dwarfed compared to other far more energy intensive industries.
- ppf 6y agoYou can, but that wasn't the point I was making. My only point was that it takes around 300Wh/mile to move a car about the size and shape of a Tesla, regardless of how you power it. I won't use the example of Tesla next time, as it seems to confuse matters. MPGe also touches on the source of the energy you are using to propel your car, and depending on your power grid energy mix, can produce quite widely different results for EVs. Once you also take into account transmission and conversion losses, it is not as good as you'd think. Electronics is one of the most energy intensive industries in the world, especially if you do the calulcation per weight of final product.
