My EV did 900km on its latest tank. 45 litres. These labels are on the number plates, one of the things less understood about EVs is that they don’t have to be fully electric to be an EV. In a hybrid the petrol motor acts more like a generator for the electric motors, it’s not connected to the wheels. Lots of anti-EV folk think they’ve demolished them by showing them doing things like charging from a generator. It’s irrelevant. All vehicles are converging on using easily the most efficient and powerful motors - electric - with varying options for providing energy to those motors. The electric motors are more than twice as efficient, meaning even if you do use petrol or diesel to power them, you’re using a huge amount less. As a bonus they’re much more powerful too.
