@EngineeringExplained The simple fact is that ICE engines emits poisons right in front of millions of lungs. You cannot get away from that.

The best range extender is a rotary. Small, no vibration and light. Mazda were looking at HCCI for constant speed rotaries. Mazda are introducing a rotary range extender. No news if it will use HCCI.

@papasmith7648 I would rather have an EV. Big business in Europe is electricians fitting EV charging points in garages and drives.

@Xander1Sheridan Nonsense. BTW, In few years time the UK will have decommissioned all its coal power stations.

Jason:- "they are not very efficient" They are hopelessly inefficient, with approx 80% of the energy in a tank wasted. You cannot make a silk purse out of sows ear.

@kens97sto171 If you are saying ICE cars are cleaner, you are getting ridiculous. There is nothing in sight to improve ICE cars: the oil production, hopelessly inefficient engines, transportation, etc. EVs in a matter of a few years will be using solid state batteries. Wise up. Look.

@kens97sto171 In the UK one refinery uses the equiv consumption of the cities of Coventry and Leicester combined just to refine oils. This creates pollution in burning fossil fuels to create the petro fuels. Then the fuel is burnt in vehicles creating more pollution, right under people's noses. Polluting twice. Two processes to get vehicles moving. Charging batteries is only one process, with none under people's noses. You are doing a bad job trying to justify the unjustifiable.

@warboyrb Overall EVs emits far less pollutants overall. They do. I never made it up.

@FSXgta I never actually suggested that. But eliminating combustion engines in urban areas ASAP makes lots of sense. The UK has announced it will ban the sale of combustion cars in nine years time. Enough time to phase out the poisonous cars.

@8Hshan Two wrongs do not make a right.

@kens97sto171 ICE vehicles poison people's lungs. The emissions are feet from their noses.

@kens97sto171 You do get it, but are attempting to justify technology that should have gone decades ago. You have a have a vested interest in promoting this poison.

@billygunn7180 You made that up.

@papasmith7648 ICE hopeless inefficiencies say Hi.

@shadowmatt911 People still run steam engines for fun as well.

@edwardpiper2749 Hydrogen fuel cells are not ICE engines.

@lucasvanhamburg4937 Look up Toyota's solid state battery.
2
@lucasvanhamburg4937 In speed? No. An EV holds the record for fastest car around the Nurburgring. In overall efficiencies from the original source of energy to the car running, EVs leave ICE cars standing.

The wave disc died. Great in theory at the time, with a model built, but zero emissions have taken over.

@papasmith7648 I have two charging points outside of my block. Big business is fitting charging points on driveways. They are going up all over.
2
The company died. The charge of EVs led to its demise.

@billygunn7180 You should not make things up.

@chrisarundel9199 "internal combustion is here to stay." What is it like a La La land?

@Majorhantines The ICE engine has no future. The end will come quick. When fuel is difficult to buy as the stations close down.

@TheFlame234 Complete tripe.

@martinsvensson6884 Did you vote that lunatic Trump?
1
@martinsvensson6884 OH he voted for Trump, not only that he thinks Trump did nothing wrong! Amazing.

@strangelove9608 Total nonsense. Someone told you to write that.
1
@strangelove9608 We will be driving EVs sooner than we think. Great cars to drive.
1
@strangelove9608 What else have the screaming voices told you today?
1
@strangelove9608 The real would be EVs very soon. No brum, brums.

@strangelove9608 You must stop making things up.

@moabman6803 The ICE still wastes 80% of the energy in a fuel tank. The ICE engine, roll up, roll up, buy one now as they will not be available soon!
1
@moabman6803 Read again what I wrote.

@Fee You need to find out the total efficiencies of EVs, they knock combustion engines out of sight.
1
@kamilb8232 ICE engines are at the end of the line.

@JT_771 The sooner ICE engines disappear the better.

@christopherayala4619 The days of ICE cars are within sight. Get used to it.

Formula E

@xxxxxtrxxx13 In constant speed and loads. In real work conditions they are hopeless. An extra 5% of a hopelessly inefficient engine is nothing.
1
@xxxxxtrxxx13 Complete nonsese. 80% of the energy in a tank is wasted. OK get to to 75% - big thrill!

@2123101 Look up Toyota and solid state batteries. A game changer. We are just witnessing the death in front of our eyes of the ICE engine. Every now and then it kicks while dying.
1
@2123101 It still is way off to an EV. With EVs the best is yet to come - and it is coming soon.
1
@2123101 Pure EVs are battery plus motor.
1
@2123101 Pure EVs are simple. A motor with a battery.

The pumping losses of a piston engine, somthing you cannot get around, forbid any meaningful efficiencies.
