Some surprising statistics about ICE power. Their problem is not really eno=
ugh wiggle room to improve efficiency. Industry spawned by fossils from the=
 "inexhaustible Earth" era.

" ICE vehicles only send between 16 to 25 percent of the energy created fro=
m burning gasoline to the wheels. The other 75 to 84 percent is lost due to=
 inherent inefficiencies. Most of the loss is heat and noise, although abou=
t 10 percent is sacrificed to stuff like drivetrain losses, essentially the=
 difference between crank horsepower and wheel horsepower. I should point o=
ut that diesels are more efficient (30 to 40 percent of the energy created =
goes toward forward propulsion), but they spew noxious particulates with se=
rious health consequences and still aren't particularly efficient compared =
to EVs."

Might as well be wood burning steam power with that kind of horrendously in=
efficient performance. And this after more than a century to do something a=
bout it.
