“What? The heater in your gas guzzler is reducing your gasoline range by
over 70%. And not only that, you can’t even turn all that wasted heat
off! All you can select to do is either vent the heat into the cabin in
the winter, or blow it under the car all the rest of the time throwing
away
70% of the energy you bought at the pump. At least an EV can turn off
heater energy when not needed.”
Heh-hee!
Now I know where all the "liquid" part of the gasoline really goes (wasted
heat).
Some people know ICEngines of all kinds (can) really run off gasoline
vapors.
Image Google "engines that run off gasoline vapors" or something similar and
check the applications out.
I'm thinking that running on gas vapors will be useful for a range-extender
generator on an EV to increase run time and reduce emissions.
And if you use a modified ICE engine to run an EV generator, the engine
radiant heat can be captured from the exhaust manifold for winter heating in
the EV cab.

Hi Bob and All,
First let's be more accurate,
'a gas car is only 7% eff, not 30% in car service because they very rarely
run at their eff rate and even run when stopped getting 0 mpg.'
'EV's can go 50mph+ on the power most gas engines need to idle', for
example. Is other facts you can use too.
'Well your gas car heater wastes 93% of it's range and you can't turn it
off'. Is how I'll say it.

Next time I hear someone blasting the reduced range of an EV with the heat
on, I want to come back with something like this:

Is there a better way to say it?
