And I thought they were supposed to be shying away from fossil fuels.

    Did you forget that the argument started that EVs that were charged with a diesel generator is more effective than a regular diesel vehicle?

    Based on that false claim you argued in favour of hybrids using the false pretense from the start, and that what I discredited by “put a diesel in the trunk”, because by your logic that would be more efficient than a diesel.

    You even continues to argue in favour until I did the calculation. Even then you tried to weasel your way out.

    I was never arguing that winning back lost energy with a secondary electrical system doesnt make sense. But that wasnt what you claimed. You wrongly assumed hybrids were using the motor to charge the battery, which they don’t.

      Your numbers are not correct. Can you cite sources for them?

      Even then you tried to weasel your way out by claiming your motor would indirectly charge your battery, which it doesnt.

      Can you clarify this? The motor does both directly and indirectly charge the battery in most (if not all) hybrid cars.

      You wrongly assumed hybrids were using the motor to charge the battery, which they don’t.

      Yep there it is again. Definitely not trusting your armchair understanding of physics and automotive engineering.

      Tell you what. Cite one example of a production vehicle where they removed they hybrid system and gained fuel economy, and I’ll admit that ICEs alone are much more efficient. Until then, you’re wrong, I’m right, and I have 3 real world examples to back it up.
