The sensible efficiency measurement is consumption per distance, like L/100km. The electric switchover is This is an opportunity for places like the US to switch its measurement of choice too. I don't expect it to become a metric one, but at least one that works numerically (e.g. for fleet averages).
- dragonwriter 4y ago> The sensible efficiency measurement is consumption per distance No, that’s a sensible inefficiency measure. A sensible measure of X increases with X.
- Invictus0 4y agoI don't care that it's more common the other way, it doesn't make any sense in a sentence. When we talk about efficiency verbally, we say that higher or more efficiency is better: but the numerical value is better if it is lower. Miles per kWh seems like the appropriate unit to me.
