    A gallon of gas contains 33.7 kWh of energy.

    ICE sedans get on average 31.7 miles per gallon, which is 0.94 miles per kWh.

    Most electric SUVs get 3-4 miles per kWh depending on temperature and driving conditions. Electric sedans get 4-5 miles per kWh.

    You may generally dislike SUVs, but those Electric SUVs are still a far cry better than the gas sedans you’re giving a pass.

        Should I give it in terms of inverse Newtons, squared seconds per kilogram-meter? That would be a proper SI reduction for ya :P

        “fauxCD”

        Stealing that. A big pet peeve of mine is the hijacking of the term “OCD” by almost everyone so they can use it incorrectly, and then people with an actual panic disorder aren’t taken seriously.

          Americans have actually been using metric for a long time. Well, their drug dealers have anyway.

      Yes but they’re still as butt ugly as the rest of the SUVs they’re making. And they don’t handle well. And they’re fucking huge.
