|Estimated based on an energy efficiency ratio: typical gasoline car vs typical electric car. Assuming that the ratio would be about the same for larger vehicles.<br />- Does not factor in the charge/discharge energy losses in the battery.<br />- Does not factor in the energy needed to manufacture EVs (which might be higher than manufacturing combustion vehicles). | |Estimated based on an energy efficiency ratio: typical gasoline car vs typical electric car.
