I just saw a 32 month old wind turbine sling a blade off in heavy wind and chop it's tower in the middle and the flaming generator cabin falling to the ground. The poor landowner will no longer get his monthly check for his production share. The personal property taxes will no longer be paid to the taxing entities after the first of January.
Lol!
BEVs are usually much more efficient to the point that even relatively inefficient designs are more efficient than ICEVs by a long shot . Plus the grid is getting greener continuously. Actually BEVs are worse environmentally to manufacture but become cleaner over their lifetime. I agree on your last sentence
Funny for me to see this comment today... I've wondered about ecoboost owners claiming mpg significantly higher than the published ratings, too. Last week I had to go across the state, about 125 miles on highways, and decided to check my own mpg. Well, guess what? My ecoboost Maverick did 38.2 mpg! And that was calculated by me at the pump. The mpg value displayed on the Maverick was about 36, btw.I'd like to know how you get that gas mileage.
Also an inconvenient fact for fact for BEV and hybrid lovers is their battery systems are causing across the board auto insurance increases because of the high costs associated with repairing or replacing them. Regardless of how reliable those systems actually are the actuaries still have to factor in a percentage of them having problems and in turn have to spread that risk across the whole insurance pool.
MPG's like that are largely dependent on outside temp, distance traveled, amount of stopping and speed then yes you can easily beat the published numbers. More mixed driving the more that number will over time average closer to the published numbers.
I know this was a 15 mile trip on I 35 at 65 mph most of the time. Obviously when I get in stop and go traffic that drops a lot. I cannot fake what the display showes.
