minus-squaren2burns@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoNot really. The F150 Lightning’s efficiency is ~270Wh/km city which means a small EV is only a 50% improvement vs 95% for ebike. Also, this graph is helpful given our current situation. Maybe once we’re mostly at the 95% better than an F150 Lightning solution (e-bikes), it might be worth being concerned with energy efficiency, but we’re not there.
minus-squaren2burns@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoSo 0Wh/km as they don’t run on electricity? 🤷♂️
minus-squareInternationalKnee69@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoBy that logic walking and regular bikes would also be 0Wh/km. But Wh isn’t a unit of electricity

I meant a regular pickup truck
