My work here is done when Car and Driver takes up the EV torch and explains it to all those ICE drivers.

Let's compare EV and gasoline efficiency (autonomia) and range (in km) across a wide range of speeds (velocità), normalizing to 50 kph/30 mph. We see that both lose range with increased speed in the same way. Energy is energy, aerodynamics is aerodynamics.

Also worth noticing is that 1 L of gasoline contains about 9.5 kWh, so we see that gas cars only do about 1 km/ kWh at 130 kph / 80 mph, compared to 5.6 km/kWh for an EV.

Gas cars are pathetically inefficient, and it's only the ease of tankage that gives them a long range, using about five times as much energy as an EV does.
