as efficient as a pure electric vehicle. That’ s just a fact.” A good petrol or diesel engine achieves roughly 25 to 30 % efficiency under optimal conditions. A good electric road car, by contrast, operates at 80 to 85 % efficiency.
Formula E race cars push this further. Measured from battery output to wheel, through inverter, motor, gearbox and differential, Envision Racing achieves“ completely mind-boggling” efficiency of 95 to 96 %.“ This insane efficiency where we waste so little through the whole chain makes our race cars go faster,” Sylvain explains.
