Driving an EV, another noticeable thing is the complete absence of either of these gauges. No fuel, and no need to regulate temperature. Battery percentage replaces the fuel gauge (and it can go UP as you drive, good luck with that in a petrol or diesel). And the motors run cool, always, there’s no combustion, so no heat. A combustion engine is a series of continuous explosions, generating heat, heat that will destroy the car if not regulated, and most of which goes straight out the exhaust as wasted energy.
