Some automobile designs strive to balance the fore and aft
weight distribution
by other means, such as putting the engine in the front and the transmission and battery in the rear
of the
vehicle.
In dedicated sports cars, a
weight distribution
of about 50 % front and rear is frequently pursued, to optimise the
vehicle's driving dynamics — a target that is typically only achievable
by placing the engine somewhere between the front and rear axles.
The study used the utility factor (since in pure EV mode there are no tailpipe emissions) and the EPA best estimate
