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

    Only if you are still arguing that…

    BEVs create a significant amount of waste heat compared to ICEs. Diesel electric trains and hybrid cars are less efficient than their ICE only counterparts and logistics professionals have been wrong for decades.

      Where did I argue that? Are you now putting words into my mouth?

      Just admit you were wrong dude, it isnt that hard.

        No need to admit anything. Here you are insinuating that my statement about the heat generated by EVs and ICEs is not correct…

        We would just put diesel generators in the trunk if any of that would make sense.

        That was your primary response to my statement that EVs generate an insignificant amount of heat compared to ICEs.

        You also said this…

        Youre arguing against the principle of physics.

        What makes a Diesel generator better then … Checks notes… a Diesel Generator?

        And the answer, which I gave you is that a diesel generator is not the same thing operating under the same load and conditions as a diesel car.

        I also provided 3 real world examples of hybrid systems that outperform their combustion counterparts. I will admit that I was unable to locate specifically a hybrid diesel car, or an electric car with a diesel range extender.

          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 continued to argue in favour until I did the calculation. Even then you tried to weasel your way out by claiming your motor would indirectly charge your battery, which it doesnt.

          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.
