Electric Car Myth Buster — Efficiency
Have you heard or read that electric cars are no more efficient than gasoline or diesel powered cars? That myth is one of the easiest to explode. Quite simply, it’s not even remotely true.

EV Efficiency & Range at 60–65 mph behind Large Vehicles vs 60–65 mph Unshielded vs…
Someone asked me for precise figures in the difference, in range, between driving slower, driving faster, and driving behind a large vehicle to reduce air resistance. I had to confess that I couldn’t give him precise figures, as I had based my article just on my experience of driving an EV for a couple of years and noticing a definite difference in range in those three scenarios. I decided that, rather than leaving it open, I would perform some road trials to see exactly what the difference was.

The EV Black Knight Rides Again: John Petersen on Mortal Enemies
In commerce, a black knight is someone who makes an unwelcome takeover bid. John Petersen is not an EV supporter. Rather, his disclosure exudes a contempt for the EV that is pervasive throughout his work, while he admits to previous commitment to lead-acid batteries and a present ownership in Axion Power. A recent article throws down the gauntlet as he tries to take over the EV conversation: the Black Knight rides again. […]
Cost to Run a Mitsubishi i-MiEV Electric Vehicle: $233 a Year; $0.82 a Gallon
The average annual cost of running a Mitsubishi i-MiEV electric vehicle amounts to around $233 a year, equivalent to paying some $0.82 a gallon for gasoline, according to New Zealand’s EECA. EECA undertook the study as part of introducing a consumer label that offers “independent, comparative information on the efficiency and running costs of vehicles,” which, in turn, is expected to help the government meet a long term goal of increasing renewable electricity generation from 74% currently to 90%.
