35% and then drivetrain losses on top. Those losses are fair to include since EV systems are often direct driven.

- numpad0 2y agobtw, battery charging is a lossy process too. Oft-quoted 90% figure for power supply conversion efficiency compounds.

- XorNot 2y ago"Well to wheel" comparisons consistently show EV's coming out on top of ICE despite battery charging losses: e.g. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Well-to-wheels-efficiency-comparison-between-various_fig4_224712974 https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Well-to-wheels-efficienc...
