Sentences with phrase «efficient than internal combustion engines»

Using plants to create electricity to power electric vehicles wins out because electric engines are much more efficient than internal combustion engines.

In addition, because electric motors can be 2 — 3 times more efficient than internal combustion engines, PV can result in 200 — 300 times more useable energy for vehicle transport than bioenergy per hectare (although fully realizing this potential will require battery production to become more energy efficient).

J&D note that electric cars are 5 times more efficient than internal combustion engine vehicles, so less energy is needed to fuel them.

Not exact matches
