Today, what about comparing the incomparable?
What about comparing apples and oranges? What a weird idea you will say! So let’s explain.
Both apples and oranges contribute to your nutrition. They largely fulfill the same function.
When it comes to cars, we need to think about their main function, which is to bring yourself and passengers, possibly with a cargo, safely, from A to B.
With electric vehicles, a major issue is that big, heavy, vehicles, such as large sedans, trucks, SUVs, lorries, etc. require especially heavy battery packs, because of the inherent low energy density of existing batteries.
Electric vehicles require therefore more energy to be displaced than their equivalent internal combustion engine or hybrid counterparts. And this increased energy obviously needs to come from somewhere.
In addition, while vehicles are essentially aimed at bringing you from A to B, there has been a trend, over the past 50 years or so, towards bigger, heavier, and pricier, vehicles, such as SUVs, even when such overweight, oversized vehicles were not needed to fulfill their core function.
It’s against this background that the present post needs to be seen. We contrast the big heavy CyberTruck, using the currently available (even if not official) specifications, with a relatively light, small and affordable internal combustion engine vehicle, that is very popular in France - the Dacia Sandero.
The analysis shows what common sense tells us, i.e. the small, light and energy efficient vehicle is much more environmentally friendly than the truck, even if the latter is full electric.
But guess which one of the two will be prohibited on the EU market in 2035?
