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.
Well, yeah? Electric motors require more energy to go faster, and a petrol car has gearing to solve this problem. The slower you drive in an EV, the more range you get.
It’s the drag that reduces range at higher speeds. I even get better range in CO because the wind is thinner up here.
