[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of the benefit of hybrid is really just having a an efficient reliable CVT transmission for highway use. The electric side of the hybrid is best in stop and go city or suburban traffic. A pure EV is best all around but only most efficient at average temps ( no extreme cold) and when not towing or with bike/storage racks. They are so efficient that any obstruction in airflow can have a huge impact up to a 40% drop in mileage. [b]Whereas gas powered engines are so inefficient that these changes can be barely noticeable[/b].[/quote] I don’t think that’s true at all. When towing anything large, they generally say you can cut your range in half; this applies to both ICE and EV vehicles. Adding drag/weight increases the amount of energy it takes to move. It doesn’t matter where this energy comes from.[/quote]
