When driving the majority of energy is expended overcoming rolling resistance and wind resistance.

Very good statement, +100500

When driving the majority of energy is expended overcoming rolling resistance and wind resistance. Sure an underinflated tire will use more energy on a heavier car, but you can overcome that by properly inflating it. In stop and go traffic, weight is an issue if you don’t have regenerative braking, otherwise you get quite a bit of it back.

IBM and Air Zinc batteries will be a distant memory by then. This type of response is what almost destroyed IBM when PC’s entered the scene.
