    It hasn’t i drive a petrol. Another win for combustion engines

    Petrol engines are around 30% efficient to begin with, and with winter dropping that another 10 % so you’ve already lost around 73% of what you could potentially get out of the fuel.

    EVs start from about 95% efficiency, so a reduction of around 30% in winter still leaves petrol cars looking like the filthy old dinosaurs they are, slow & inefficient.
