A Toyota Corolla with a 1.8L engine requires 6.2 liters of gas to drive for 100 kilometers on a highway. But on city roads, it would require 7.9 liters of gas. A 2022 Ford F-150 requires 9.4 and 12.1 liters per 100 km for highway and city driving, respectively.

    Next you tell us that they have more mileage in moderate temperatures rather than in the winter or the summer…

      The reason this is interesting is because it’s the reverse of gas cars. Typically the best efficiency of a gas vehicle is on the highway but for EVs you get much more efficiency in local streets

        Well that’s only true if you don’t drive fast. When you go above 120 km/h you will see that the fuel consumption increases noticeably

        The top commenter was pointing out this is extremely obvious and known which makes it less interesting.
