That's at least two metric tonnes of fuel saved over the lifetime of the car compared to ~150kg of additional components. The process of making them would have to be especially dirty to reach the environmental footprint of such an amount of fuel.

- Tade0 4y agoLess than in a regular ICE car. I've found that at least in my case average speed and use of accessories in heavy traffic is a better predictor of fuel consumption - I suppose it's due to regenerative braking.
