That table says that 122kwh is only 4 gallons of gasoline. Most ICE cars that compare to an ev with a 122 kWh battery size hold 20 gallons of more. So still 5x

That table says that 122kwh is only 4 gallons of gasoline. Most ICE cars that compare to an ev with a 122 kWh battery size hold 20 gallons of more.
So still 5x energy density in the ICE vehicle
Or am missing something?
- tadfisher 2y agoYes, 5x is more favorable than 33x as quoted by the GP.
- bgnn 2y agoSorry for unclarity. I wasn't comparing the weight if the total car in EV or ICE scenario. It's more like 2x for a similar range I would think, because EV drivetrain is so much lighter than ICE one.
- adolph 2y agoThat’s not “unclarity.” That’s “moving the goalposts.”
- DannyBee 2y agoSure, but this is pretty pedantic in practice - 5x is still a huge number. There is no practical difference between 5x and 30x and 1000x.
- tadfisher 2y agoExcept for an order of magnitude, sure. But you're not getting 5x range in ICE cars.
- adolph 2y ago5x is not 100x. Or am I missing something?
- DannyBee 2y agoI literally was asking a question, no need to be an ass.
